Psoriasiform Dermatitis Following Kawasaki Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an idiopathic acute inflammatory illness that commonly affects children in Northeast Asian countries. In this case report, a psoriasiform eruption appeared on the face and extremities following the onset of KD. A review of previous reports identified 38 cases of psoriasiform eruptions following KD, typically appearing 4 days to 2 months after the onset of KD, unlike other skin manifestations associated with the disease. Notably, in this case, the rash improved with the application of white petrolatum, suggesting that psoriasiform eruptions following KD may be self-limited with spontaneous resolution.
