Özet
Kawasaki Disease is an acute systemic vasculitis of childhood affecting small and medium-sized arteries particularly coronary arteries. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy decreases the major cardiovascular complication of the disease. Atypical clinical conditions may accompany to the disease and these cases seem to be more prone to intravenous immunoglobulin resistance which is an important problem in the management of the cases. Herein, we presented a case of 4-year-old boy admitted to our emergency department with fever of 5 days duration and diagnosed as Kawasaki disease based on the clinical, laboratory and imaging findings. He was resistant to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment and in the follow up resulting abdominal tenderness was explained by gallbladder hydrops. Copyright © 2015 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
