ABSTRACT
Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile vasculitis of childhood and leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. The illness occurs predominantly in young children and only occasionally occurs in teenagers and adults. So we report a case of adolescent-onset Kawasaki disease associated with congestive heart failure and development of coronary dilatation. A 16-year-old girl presented with fever, truncal rash, congestive heart failure due to myocarditis, bilateral conjunctival injection, strawberry tongue, redness of hands and feet, and cervical adenopathy. After Kawasaki disease was diagnosed, intravenous gamma globulin(2 g/kg) and aspirin(70 mg/kg/day) were administered. On the 20th hospital day, echocardiography showed moderate dilatation of right coronary artery. Four months after the discharge, follow up echocardiography showed sustained dilatation of right coronary artery.
