Article Synopsis
- Kawasaki Disease (KD) is primarily a pediatric condition but can also affect older patients, sometimes presenting with atypical symptoms like hepatitis and lymphadenopathy, as seen in a 16-year-old girl.
- The patient exhibited classical KD symptoms but also developed significant liver issues and required multiple treatments due to her severe hepatic presentation.
- Recognizing the potential for liver dysfunction in older patients with KD is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, as it can influence the patient's prognosis.
