Abstract
We report a 1-month-old infant with Kawasaki disease and peripheral gangrene. We advocate using the newly published American Heart Association guidelines advising early laboratory and echocardiogram investigations in infants with fever but without other classic manifestations of Kawasaki disease. Initiation of early therapy may prevent this serious complication with its permanent sequelae.
