Abstract

Two patients with apparent mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS) and hydrops of the gallbladder have presented with elevated antistreptolysin O (ASO) titers. Notably, in none of the cases previously reported in the literature, has ASO titer been mentioned. The patient described by Goldsmith1 had a hydropic gallbladder, massively hypertrophied mesenteric lymph nodes and other signs and symptoms of the syndrome with negative throat culture, and a variety of serologic examinations reported, but no ASO titer.
