Abstract

Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory syndrome affecting middle-sized arteries. It is diagnosed when a fever lasts longer than 5 days, and four out of the five diagnostic criteria are satisfied. Some skin lesions are not included in the criteria, but are associated with Kawasaki disease. They can be helpful when the patient has an incomplete presentation. Herein, we report a Kawasaki patient who presented with simultaneous orange-brown chromonychia on all 20 nails and black crusted lips.
