Kawasaki syndrome in a young child: clinical case

Abstract

Kawasaki syndrome (SC) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are inflammatory conditions that are difficult for doctors to diagnose and treat. These are two different states, despite the fact that many of their features have common features. Complex pathogenetic mechanisms that cause the development of SC find their clinical expression in the defeat of a large number of functional systems of the body. The aim: demonstrating the difficulty of diagnosing Kawasaki syndrome in a young child of 8 months. Results. The emphasis is placed on the clinical predominance of intoxication-febrile, respiratory, intestinal, exanthemic syndromes, as well as on the absence of specific symptoms from the cardiovascular system in the early stages of the disease, which made early diagnosis difficult. Conclusion. The clinical case we have presented demonstrates the atypical development of Kawasaki syndrome with a prolonged absence of changes from the cardiovascular system
