[Kawasaki's disease in a young adult].

Abstract

The authors describe a 29-year-old white male who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for Kawasaki disease. Apart from the patient's age, this case is unusual in that there were a large number of manifestations including liver complications, epistaxis, Baker's cyst, and circulating anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.
