Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

The patient is a 31-year-old man with a febrile condition accompanied by mucocutaneous changes and swelling of cervical lymph nodes. Clinical features and laboratory data meet the criteria for acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS). In addition, coronary artery aneurysms and stenotic lesions were observed in the coronary arteriograms. Previously reported cases of MCLS in adults have been extraordinarily rare.
