Abstract

Kawasaki Disease, an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in many parts of the world. It predominantly affects children under 5 years of age and has many clinical symptoms. We experienced a case of gas forming enterocolitis associated with Kawasaki Disease. Aeromonas hydrophilia was isolated from her stool culture. So, we report the case with a brief review of its literature.

저자들은 발열, 구토 및 설사를 주소로 내원한 14개월된 여아의 대변배양검사에서 Aeromonas hydrophilia가 배양된 gas forming enterocolitis를 동반한 가와사끼병 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
