Abstract

The skin rash of Kawasaki syndrome is usually erythematous. A 23-month-old Costa Rican boy was admitted with a clinical picture compatible with Kawasaki syndrome, except for his skin lesions. He had diffuse, confluent, multiple sterile whitish pustular lesions on his chest, abdomen, neck, genitals, and thighs.
