Autor(es): Lee Yung Seng, Quek Swee Chye, Koay Evelyn Siew Chuan, Tang Julian Wei-Tze
Resumo: We report a 4-month-old boy with seizure, a 1-day history of fever, - a generalized maculopapular rash on the trunk - limbs. In very young children, acute chikungunya infection can mimic Kawasaki disease, - its prompt diagnosis, particularly in an endemic area like Singapore, may avoid the administration of costly - unnecessary intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
