Kawasaki disease is a vasculitis of infant and childhood period.Diagnosis of Kawasaki disease is based on clinical criteria including cervical lymphadenopathy.Here we reported a 3.5-year-old boy presenting with Kawasaki disease mimicking bacterial lymphadenitis and fever.If a child presents with lymphadenopathy only which is unresponsive to antibiotics, Kawasaki disease should be considered.
