Kawasaki disease usually affects infants and young children. It often goes unrecognized in adults due to varying symptoms and lack of definite diagnostic criteria.

Kawasaki disease can cause coronary complications in a teenager. A high level of suspicion in the ED can help in proper management of these patients.
