Leukocytosis and neutrophilia is common during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease whereas leukopenia is not common and severe neutropenia is rare. Severe neutropenia is defined as absolute neutrophil count less than 500/mm3. There are only few publicatons reporting of atypical Kawasaki disease with severe neutropenia. We report a case of atypical Kawasaki disease with severe neutropenia.
