ABSTRACT
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic vasculitis of small and medium-size vessels that mainly affects children under five years of age. The etiology of KD is still uncertain; however, evidence suggests that infectious agents and genetic susceptibility act as a trigger for its development, which could explain the increase in cases of children with COVID-19 who developed a classic or incomplete form of KD. The aim of this report is to discuss a case of a five-year-old boy diagnosed with incomplete KD associated with COVID-19.
