DEFERVESCENCE KAWASAKI DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH PARAINFLUENZA TYPE 1 INFECTION
Abstract
Kawasaki Disease is a systemic vasculitis, associated with acute febrile illness of childhood. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. The causative agent of Kawasaki Disease is still not known [1-2]. Parainfluenza virus causes croup, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, rarely mumps, aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. We report a 4 years 9 month old girl with defervescence Kawasaki Disease associated with Parainfluenza type 1 infection. It is mostly seen in children rarely with adult or infant of less than 2 month age [3].
