Comparison of Demographic, Clinical, and Echocardiographic Features Between Complete and Incomplete, and Early and Late Presenters of Kawasaki Disease: A 10-Year Single-Center Experience.

Introduction:  The diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) is based mainly on clinical findings and supported by laboratory tests. Complete KD fulfills the main clinical criteria, while incomplete KD includes patients with fewer main criteria and compatible laboratory or echocardiographic findings. The study compares the demographic, clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters between the complete and incomplete KD and early and late presenters.

A Probable Case of Recurrent Bickerstaff Brainstem Encephalitis With Fulminant Course in a Pediatric Patient.

Introduction: Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis is a rare, often postinfectious, syndrome characterized by the clinical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and altered consciousness. Here, we present a probable case of recurrent, pediatric Bickerstaff encephalitis, whereby the patient acutely developed loss of consciousness and eventually brain death despite optimal management.

Case Report: A 3-year-old male patient initially presented to the emergency department with progressive ataxia, following history of upper respiratory tract infection.
