Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness of childhood that affects usually children younger than 5 years of age. The diagnosis is based on typical clinical features. Atypical or incomplete forms of Kawasaki disease can be observed in almost 20% of patients and at onset is a clinical challenge leading to diagnostic and therapeutic delays with higher risk of coronary abnormalities. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with febrile cholestasis, abdominal pain and early coronary anomalies that was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Atypical findings of our case at onset were the age, the clinical presentation and the timing of appearance of coronary anomalies. A high index of suspicion of Kawasaki disease should be maintained in patients presenting with febrile cholestatic jaundice.
川崎病是一种儿童急性发热性疾病,通常影响5岁以下儿童。诊断基于典型的临床特征。几乎20%的患者可观察到非典型或不完全型川崎病,起病时是一项临床挑战,会导致诊断和治疗延迟,且冠状动脉异常风险更高。我们报告一例13岁男孩,其表现为发热性胆汁淤积、腹痛和早期冠状动脉异常,被诊断为川崎病。我们病例起病时的非典型表现为年龄、临床表现以及冠状动脉异常出现的时间。对于出现发热性胆汁淤积性黄疸的患者,应高度怀疑川崎病。
