摘      要：Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a severe febrile vasculitis that affects children under 5 years of age. The severity of KD is related to coronary involvement. Few cases have been reported in sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: We present a clinical observation of a Togolese infant to illustrate the typical clinical picture that every pediatrician should know. Observation: The patient was a 20-month-old infant from Togo who presented with conjunctivitis, cheilitis, stomatitis, and pharyngitis in a febrile setting. There was a satellite sub-maxillary adenopathy. There was a persistent biological inflammatory syndrome with thrombocytosis and a doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of a coronary aneurysm. Treatment was based on corticosteroid therapy and acetylsalicylic acid with success. Conclusion: KD involves cardiac complications that require rigorous and sometimes long-term monitoring to prevent death.
