“…This will be followed by desquamation which usually starts in the periungual areas 2 to 3 weeks during the subacute phase of KD and subsequently, the appearance of Beau lines during the resolution phase of KD [1,33]. Other KD dermatological features may include: (i) urticarial or fine micro pustular eruptions which mainly involve the trunk and extremities [1]; and (ii) palmoplantar psoriatic eruption with plaques and pustular lesion [1,36,37]. KD associated psoriasiform rashes had been observed to resolve earlier when compared to conventional psoriasis [37].…”

Kawasaki disease (KD) has shown a marked increase in trend over the globe, especially within the last two decades. Kawasaki disease is often seen in the paediatric population below five years old, while it is rare for those who are beyond that age. Up to this date, no exact causes has been identified although KD was found more than half a century ago. The underlying pathogenesis of the disease is still unelucidated, and researchers are trying to unlock the mystery of KD. To further complicate the diagnosis and the prompt management, a specific biomarker for the diagnosis of KD is yet to be discovered, making it hard to differentiate between KD and other diseases with a similar presentation. Nonetheless, since its discovery, clinicians and scientists alike had known more about the different clinical aspects of typical KD. Thus, this article intends to revisit and review the various clinical manifestations and laboratory characteristics of KD in order to guide the diagnosis of KD.
