Abdominal-pain-first presentation of Kawasaki disease

Clinicians from Italy cared for a child with high fever and abdominal pain as first complaints of Kawasaki disease. Abdominal computed tomography showed concentric thickening of jejunal bowel, dilatation of small and large intestine, ascitic fluid, and enlargement of mesenteric lymph nodes. As typical mucocutaneous signs and laboratory findings appeared, the diagnosis was considered. IGIV therapy was associated with rapid defervescence and resolution of abdominal pain.
