Atypical Kawasaki disease with giant coronary artery aneurysms in a 2-month-old boy: a case report
This case emphasizes the importance of considering Kawasaki disease as a differential diagnosis in infants with persistent, treatment-resistant fever and abnormal complete blood count findings. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to prevent severe complications, such as coronary artery aneurysms and possible mortality. It underscores the need for heightened awareness and vigilance among healthcare providers in similar clinical scenarios.
