Abstract
A 5 years old male patient applied to the pediatric emergency department with the complaint of fever that has been persistent for 5 days and abdominal colic pain with a resultant diarrhea. The patient’s past medical history and family history were unremarkable except for a SARS-CoV-2 infection in the family one-month ago. Upon the dermatologic examination the patient had a diffuse polymorphous eruption; perioral and periorbital erythema; and fissured lips. The tongue was bright red and edematous with the accentuation of the fungiform papillae. The patient was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease. Recently, Kawasaki Disease has been linked with the MIS-C due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
