    19 cases of Kawasaki Syndrome were seen at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur between June 1979 and August 1984. The clinical features of the cases are reviewed in this paper. Kawasaki Syndrome is not an uncommon disease in Malaysia and clinicians should be aware of its presentation.

    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.

    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.

    Retinoblastoma, the most common primary intraocular malignancy of childhood, usually presents in the first three years of life. Atypical presentation of retinoblastoma can masquerade as virtually any ocular or orbital pathology, which may lead to diagnostic dilemmas especially in the presence of other systemic diseases. We report a 20-month-old boy who was diagnosed with coronary aneurysm as a complication of Kawasaki disease, and presented with sudden left eye redness. His mother noticed the presence of white pupillary reflex three months earlier. Atypical acute ocular presentation secondary to Kawasaki disease was initially suspected, but the presence of multiple calcification and mild proptosis on imaging suggested characteristics of advanced retinoblastoma. Histopathological examination of the enucleated eye, which revealed a classical rosette pattern appearance, confirmed the diagnosis. Atypical presentations of retinoblastoma are usually associated with advanced disease. The presence of other systemic conditions further complicates the diagnosis. Early diagnosis is important to reduce the mortality and morbidity.
