成人不完全型川崎病合并中风

Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis with an unclear origin primarily affecting young children. The sole difference between complete and incomplete KD upon presentation is the number of signs and symptoms. There is a concerning case of a 50-year-old male with incomplete KD who has additionally presented with a stroke. Cases of KD are uncommon in adults but well-known in children. Ischemic stroke is quite rare in people with incomplete KD. This appears to be the first documented case of incomplete KD linked to a stroke in an adult. Because of the potentially life-threatening consequences associated with KD, healthcare professionals must take a multidisciplinary approach when assessing and managing such patients.
