    Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis usually affecting children <5 years old. We report a 44-dayold baby who had persistent fever despite being on antibiotics for presumed sepsis. Erythema of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) scar and thrombocytosis were noted on day-2 of illness. Diagnosis of incomplete KD was made on the 10th day of illness. Her fever resolved with intravenous immunoglobulin, but echocardiogram revealed coronary artery aneurysm. High index of suspicion is required to diagnose KD in infants ≤3 months since it is rare and commonly presents with incomplete clinical features. The presence of unexplained fever for ≥5 days with erythema of BCG scar or thrombocytosis in infants should alert the clinicians of KD.

    A healthy 17-year-old Chinese male suddenly collapsed and died during a game of badminton. The autopsy examination revealed a solitary calcified aneurysm of the left common coronary artery with marked stenosis of the orifices of the anterior descending and circumflex branches. Histology of the aneurysm was non-specific with hyalinised scar tissue and foci of calcification. The only illness of significance in the past was an episode of 'pyrexia of unknown origin' at the age of 8 months. A review of the notes of that hospital admission revealed that the illness was most probably Kawasaki disease.

    Kawasaki disease is an autoimmune disease that commonly affects children below the age of 5 years. It is a vasculitic disease of unknown aetiology effecting the skin, eyes, lymph nodes and mucosal layer. Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin therapy are the mainstay treatment however a number of cases have been shown to be refractory to this treatment. Evidence regarding approach and treatment for such cases is limited. This case report is to share our experience in the management of Refractive Kawasaki disease at a district level.
