Abstract

Kawasaki disease will soon be 50 years since it was first described and many aspects of this pathology remain unknown. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent or reduce future irreversible cardiological sequelae.

The reported cases of complete Kawasaki disease in our country are scarce, so our objective was to report the first case in Ica city. He is a 1-year and 9-months-old male patient, who was admitted to the Santa Maria del Socorro Hospital, presenting persistent fever of 5 days, red and cracked lips, conjunctival injection, micropapular rash on the torax and lower limbs, palmar-plantar erythema and edema, and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Met the criteria of a typical case of Kawasaki disease, was diagnosed promptly, started treatment with Immunoglobulin and acetylsalicylic acid, with favorable evolution.
