Acute Adult-Onset Kawasaki Disease Complicated by Coronary Artery Aneurysms, Thrombosis, and ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

A 21-year-old man who had an initial misdiagnosis of chest wall cellulitis and sepsis presented to the emergency department with chest pain. Electrocardiogram demonstrated ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads. Cardiac catheterization identified diffuse aneurysmal dilation and thrombosis of the...

description A 21-year-old man who had an initial misdiagnosis of chest wall cellulitis and sepsis presented to the emergency department with chest pain. Electrocardiogram demonstrated ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads. Cardiac catheterization identified diffuse aneurysmal dilation and thrombosis of the distal right coronary artery. Clinical signs were consistent with acute Kawasaki disease. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
