We report a 4-month-old boy with seizure, a 1-day history of fever, and a generalized maculopapular rash on the trunk and limbs. In very young children, acute chikungunya infection can mimic Kawasaki disease, and its prompt diagnosis, particularly in an endemic area like Singapore, may avoid the administration of costly and unnecessary intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
我们报告了一例 4 个月大的男婴,他患有癫痫,发热 1 天,躯干和四肢出现全身性斑丘疹。在非常年幼的儿童中,急性基孔肯雅热感染可能类似于川崎病,在新加坡等流行地区及时诊断可能避免使用昂贵且不必要的静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗。
