| Abstract | Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the second most common vasculitis of medium-sized vessels in children. Hypertension is rarely reported in this disease. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a 5-month-old male infant with atypical KD and new onset of hypertension without cardiac involvement or renal vessel stenosis. Hypertension was self-limited and resolved within six months after the onset of disease. Conclusions: Clinicians should consider KD as a potential source of secondary hypertension in children, and high blood pressure ought to be considered as a significant complication in Kawasaki patients. | en |
