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

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In dengue-endemic regions, prolonged fever with mucocutaneous findings may represent classical Kawasaki disease (KD), dengue-associated KD-like inflammation, or true concomitant disease. When KD cannot be confidently excluded, timely IVIG administration may be justified to prevent coronary complications. Structured follow-up including serial echocardiography remains essential.
