Abstract:
A 55-year-old Chinese lady was diagnosed with acute complete Kawasaki disease (KD) in January 2015. To our knowledge, this patient was the first described woman who was over 50 years and fulfilled all the characteristics of acute complete KD. The patient had a striking result on the 26th day since this disease onset after the initiation of treatment of immunoglobulin (IG) and aspirin; and did not have any complications up to now. The purpose of this case report was to raise the awareness of KD in the middle-aged persons and the therapeutic schedules, as there is no valid therapeutic therapeutic for adults with KD.
