Acute complete adult-onset Kawasaki disease in a middle-aged woman

ABSTRACT

A 55-year-old Chinese lady was diagnosed with acute complete Kawasaki disease [KD] in January 2015. To our knowledge, this patient was the first described woman who was over 50 years and fulfilled all the characteristics of acute complete KD. The patient had a striking result on the 26th day since this disease onset after the initiation of treatment of immunoglobulin [IG] and aspirin; and did not have any complications up to now. The purpose of this case report was to raise the awareness of KD in the middle-aged persons and the therapeutic schedules, as there is no valid therapeutic therapeutic for adults with KD
