With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many novel presentations of known conditions are occurring. In the pediatric population, new instances of Kawasaki disease have recently been singled out as presenting in conjunction with or soon after diagnosis of COVID-19.

Otolaryngologists should be cognizant of the coexistence of conditions to allow for timely recognition and optimal management.
