Abstract
- Kawasaki disease is a disease of unknown etiology affecting infants and young children. The polymorphous exanthem, one of the major clinical manifestations of Kawasaki disease, takes multiple forms including urticarial erythema, scarlatiniform or morbilliform erythema, and erythema multiform- like lesions. Small pustular form, erythema marginatum, diffuse scarlatiniform erythroderma, and perianal rash with a diaper rash-like distribution were rarely described as cutaneous manifestations of this disease. We report a case of Kawasaki disease with small pustules on the trunk and extremities in a 4-year old child.
