This constellation of signs Dr Kawasaki termed ‘‘acute febrile mucocutaneous syndrome’’; however the eponym Kawasaki disease has been accepted worldwide. We consider the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment presented by this condition and examine a recently published clinical guideline of its management.
