Summary
We present the case of a 4-month-old infant diagnosed with Kawasaki disease (KD), who developed giant coronary artery aneurysms and multiple systemic artery aneurysms due to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Early recognition and timely management of KD are crucial in order to prevent life-threatening complications, particularly in young infants with atypical presentations.
