Lymph Node Enlargement

Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by persistent fever, mucous membrane hyperaemia, cervical lymph node enlargement, exanthema and periungual desquamation. It is seen mainly in children, with <60 cases reported in adults. We present the case, the first to the best of our knowledge, of a 17-year-woman who developed KD during the second trimester of pregnancy and died 47 days postpartum from cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction. The case, the medical history, the clinical outcome and the postmortem findings are discussed, and we review the literature on adult KD.
