Kawasaki disease is very rare in Western Europe. The disease may involve coronary arteries. A 2-year-old boy diagnosed with Kawasaki disease had had seizure-like symptoms. Further evaluation revealed recurrent myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction. Due to extraordinary extension of the coronary disease, myocardial revascularization was not feasible and the toddler underwent successful heart transplantation after 97 days on waiting list.

川崎病在西欧非常罕见。该疾病可能累及冠状动脉。一名被诊断为川崎病的2岁男孩曾出现类似癫痫的症状。进一步评估发现反复出现心肌缺血和心肌梗死。由于冠状动脉疾病的异常扩展，心肌血运重建不可行，该幼儿在等待名单上97天后成功接受了心脏移植。
