Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome and a multisystem vasculitis affecting children under five years of age. The induction of chronic plaque psoriasis following Kawasaki disease can be mediated by common pathomechanisms. A recently suggested pathomechanism is based upon superantigens, which may trigger both diseases in patients with suspected genetic predispositions. Herein, a case who developed psoriasis after Kawasaki disease is presented together with the related literature.
川崎病是一种急性发热性黏膜皮肤淋巴结综合征，是一种影响五岁以下儿童的多系统血管炎。川崎病后慢性斑块状银屑病的诱发可能由共同的发病机制介导。最近提出的一种发病机制基于超抗原，它可能在疑似有遗传易感性的患者中引发这两种疾病。本文介绍了一例川崎病后发生银屑病的病例及相关文献。
