“…Severe cutaneous manifestations are rarely reported in Kawasaki disease. In addition to classic polymorphous exanthema, skin involvement in Kawasaki disease can be variable in type and extension, 6,7 with acute or sub-acute changes of nonspecific exanthems, desquamation, erythema, urticarial or angioedematous rash. Severe purpura fulminans seems rare.…”

With the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Kawasaki Disease (KD) has come to the fore with its many atypical manifestations. Atypical clinical neurological, ophthalmological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal and pulmonary manifestations in a febrile child with raised markers should prompt the clinician to think of Kawasaki disease. Peripheral gangrene is a rare atypical manifestation of KD reported in infancy. We present a three-and-a-half-year-old boy with extensive gangrene all four limbs and face along with purpura fulminans. He was successfully treated with two doses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and infliximab, with no residual gangrene. This case highlights that very severe forms of Kawasaki disease require IVIG, pulse steroids as well as infliximab for adequate control and complete resolution of the disease.

“…However, the diagnosis should be made even in patients with less than 4 typical criteria ("incomplete" KD) and/or different organ-related clinical manifestations ("atypical" KD). The timely diagnosis with administration of IVIG therapy significantly reduces the occurrence of the coronary artery aneurysms [3,4].…”

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis targeting medium-sized and small arteries. It manifests in young children. If not appropriately treated, KD leads to the development of coronary artery aneurysms inabout 20% of patients. No local evidence-based clinical and epidemiological data on KD are currently available in Kazakhstan. The awareness of KD among physicians is inadequate, resulting in underdiagnosis of the disease in the country. Given the high priority of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Central Asian countries, clinical and epidemiological studies on KD along with measures for early diagnosis and management of the patients with cardiovascular affections are warranted.
