Incomplete Kawasaki disease presenting primarily with cough: a case report and brief literature review

It is uncommon for a patient with Kawasaki disease (KD) to initially present with a severe cough as the predominant symptom, especially in the absence of other classic clinical features and with poor response to anti-infective therapy. Therefore, in such cases, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD) and promptly conduct coronary artery evaluations to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
