Spontaneous Duodenal Perforation as a Complication of Kawasaki Disease

Abstract EN

Kawasaki disease is generally known as a systemic vasculitis that often concerns doctors due to its serious cardiac complications; however, other visceral organs may get involved as well.

Surgical manifestations of the intestinal tract in Kawasaki disease are rare.

In this report, we describe the case of a 2.5-year-old boy with typical Kawasaki disease who presented with GI bleeding and surgical abdomen.

The diagnosis of duodenal perforation was confirmed.
