Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a self-limited, systemic vasculitis developing in early childhood. Skin findings of KD are polymorphous, varying from diffuse maculopapular eruptions to psoriasiform lesions. We described herein an 18-month-old male patient with KD who presented with linear, facial erythema coinciding with Blaschko's lines. Parental consent for this case report was obtained in written and verbal form.
