Abstract

Co-occurrence of amebic hepatitis and Kawasaki disease has not been reported previously. We describe two children (aged 4 y and 5 y) with Kawasaki disease and coexisting liver abscess. They were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins with/without percutaneous drainage in combination with amebicidal agents. Both the children were completely cured of the amebic hepatitis, and had normalization and regression of coronaries at follow-up. We report the co-existence of amebic hepatitis with Kawasaki disease.
