“…Nevertheless, Kawasaki disease, like other diseases of unknown aetiology, may remain undiagnosed because the necessary criteria are absent (Incomplete Kawasaki Disease) [1, 4,5,11]. On the other hand, other conditions may be erroneously considered as Kawasaki disease because they fulfill the clinical criteria.…”

“…Das Kawasaki-Syndrom tritt vorwiegend vor dem 5. Lebensjahr auf und ist bei S ä uglingen aufgrund seiner h ä ufi ger atypischen Manifestation schwieriger zu diagnostizieren [4,19] . Die anf ä nglich hohe Letalit ä t des Kawasaki-Syndroms konnte mit Einf ü hrung der hochdosierten Gabe von Azetylsalizyls ä ure (50 -100 mg / kgKG / Tag oral ü ber 2 -4 Wochen) gesenkt werden, aber viele Kinder behielten Koronaraneurysmen zur ü ck.…”

The retrospective evaluation of all medical records did not reveal any plausible explanation for the fatal course of the disease in one child in each of the two treatment periods. Besides the combination therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin and oral administration of acetylsalicylic acid, the greater age and the earlier commencement of treatment appeared to be salient factors resulting in complete cure of the disease in the surviving patients in the second period of treatment.

The case concerns the sudden death of a 21-year-old male during a soccer game. The autopsy revealed large, calcified saccular aneurysms at the origins of both the left anterior descending and the right coronary arteries. Histologically, the wall of the aneurysms was thin and composed of an internal fibro-calcified layer and an external thin tunica media. There was no evidence of active inflammation. The autopsy findings and a detailed medical history support the diagnosis of a late fatal sequela of Kawasaki disease.
