Hallazgos radiológicos pulmonares en la enfermedad de Kawasaki

Radiologic findings in the lungs of patients with KD are uncommon. In our series, they were seen in 20.8% of the patients, in the acute febrile phase, due to inflammation of the lower respiratory tract or cardiac insufficiency. It is important to note that the pulmonary nodules observed in one patient are extremely rare. It is conceivable that more cases of KD presenting with small pulmonary nodules undetected at plain-film radiography might be seen as more children undergo CT.
