We often get children having fever for 2 to 7 days who also satisfy 2 or 3 criteria for kawasaki disease like conjunctival injection, oral mucosal changes, transient rash, desquamation of palms/ soles etc. But they are not very ill looking and also do not show typical lab findings like high ESR & platelet count. Echo in such children often shows minimal or mild dilatation of coronary arteries. Should they be given a diagnosis of atypical kawasaki disease and treated with IV-IG? As the size of coronary A on echo is rather a subjective finding depending on the operator, would not this result in overtreatment of manychildren having just viral exanthemic fevers? Kindly enlighten.     Check out the answer
