Secondary Dengue Infection Presenting With Kawasaki Disease–Like Features: A Diagnostic Dilemma in a 12‐Year‐Old Girl

When KD cannot be confidently excluded, timely IVIG administration may be justified to prevent coronary complications. Structured follow‐up including serial echocardiography remains essential.
