Una Kawasaki che mima una Guillain-Barré

A 19-month-old boy presented with gait instability and lower limb weakness, initially suggestive of Guillain-Barré syndrome or transverse myelitis. Clinical features including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, sterile pyuria and elevated inflammation markers supported a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease with bilateral hip arthritis. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins, steroids and aspirin led to rapid clinical recovery.
