Abstract

This report details a case of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS) recognized in the continental United States. Reported originally by Kawasaki in 1967,1 the syndrome has since occurred widely in Japan.2 Except for Melish et al.'s report of nine cases in Hawaii, MLNS has thus far not been reported from any other area.3 CASE REPORT T.

His temperature had fluctuated between 38.9 and 39.4 C; when examined he had a markedly tender 2 x 4-cm single anterior cervical node accompanied by redness of the overlying skin.
