Case report highlights the challenges of diagnosing incomplete Kawasaki disease in infants, suggesting improved outcomes with timely treatment.

Key Points

To illustrate the diagnostic difficulties and potential complications associated with incomplete Kawasaki disease in infants.
Case report of a 3-month-old infant with prolonged high-grade fever treated initially for bacterial infection.
Identification of transient mucocutaneous signs and further echocardiographic investigations to diagnose incomplete Kawasaki disease.
Interventions included intravenous immunoglobulins, corticosteroids, aspirin, and anticoagulation.
Echocardiography revealed multiple giant coronary aneurysms in the infant.
Rapid improvement and partial regression of coronary lesions were achieved with appropriate management.
The case underscores the importance of prompt recognition and treatment of incomplete Kawasaki disease.
