Kawasaki disease (KD) was first reported by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1967 and is classified as an autoimmune vasculitis of small- and medium-sized arteries.

description Kawasaki disease (KD) was first reported by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1967 and is classified as an autoimmune vasculitis of small- and medium-sized arteries. It is usually a self-limited condition occurring in childhood, but it can have complications such as coronary artery aneurysms, myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmias with significant morbidity and mortality presenting later in life. We report a case of a KD presenting in adulthood with late cardiovascular sequelae managed with coronary artery bypass graft.
