Recurrent mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease): a report of three cases. 1986

G Keren, and J Passwell, and B E Cohen

Three children are reported who each had two documented febrile episodes, compatible with the diagnostic criteria of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease). The recurrence of this syndrome in these three children, sporadically, may indicate that Kawasaki disease is related to host immunologic factors.
