Abstract

Kawasaki disease is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children with serious repercussions of coronary artery lesions. Recurrences of the disease are relatively rare in clinical practice. We present a case of recurrent Kawasaki disease, wherein the coronary artery lesions which were documented during the initial illness demonstrated complete regression over the following months, but reappeared with recurrence of the disease.
