Due to earlier recognition, aggressive medical treatment, and surgical procedures, the quality of life in patients with Kawasaki disease is significantly improved. The identification of children at high risk for coronary artery aneurysms is crucial in order to reduce the occurrence of sudden death in adolescence and early adulthood. High parameters of inflammation, anemia, and low sodium and albumin levels, along with persistent unexplained fever, should alert clinicians to suspect the disease even though all clinical symptoms are lacking.

“…The atypical presentations include low incidence of conjunctivitis, skin rash and extremity changes, and low C-reactive protein. [68] Lack of awareness of neonatal occurrence of KD is responsible for delay in diagnosis. Classical presentation of KD such as high-grade fever not relieved by antipyretics, generalized erythematous maculopapular rash, bilaterally symmetrical nonpitting edema of hands and feet, fissuring of lips, reddish discoloration of tongue and non-purulent bilateral bulbar conjunctivitis has been reported.…”

“…[69] Persistence of fever, persistently elevated acute phase reactants (systemic inflammation) and new onset dilatation of coronary arteries are indicators of second dose of IVIg. [68] Newer drugs like infliximab (5 mg/kg over 2 h) have been investigated for safety and tolerability in pediatric patients (youngest, 2 months; oldest 5 years) with KD.…”

The neonates are unique in several ways in comparison with older children and adults which render them highly susceptible to severe, sometimes life threatening dermatological disorders. The neonatal dermatological emergencies are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A wide range of dermatoses such as infections, genodermatoses, metabolic disorders and vascular tumors may require emergency care. The clinical presentation also varies from generalized involvement of skin to localized disease with or without systemic symptoms. Irrespective of the etiology and clinical presentation, these disorders are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. With the availability of effective drugs and monitoring facilities, and awareness of need for immediate care, there has been a significant decline in the fatality rate associated with neonatal dermatological emergencies. Knowledge of clinical presentations, rapid diagnostic methods, emergency care and monitoring of progress of the disease helps in comprehensive multidisciplinary care of neonates with these disorders.
