Kawasaki disease (KD) in adolescence and adulthood is often underrecognized, because KD predominantly affects infants and young children below the age of 5 years. We report four cases of KD in patients 16-32 years of age. The first department that the patients visited was the Department of Otolaryngology, Obstetrics, or General Internal Medicine.Since KD almost always develops as cutaneous and mucosal manifestations, dermatologists have a particularly significant role in diagnosing KD in adolescents and adults. KD should be kept in mind for febrile patients of any age group presenting with exanthem.
