| Abstract (English): | We present the case of a one year-old child who met the classical criteria of Kawasaki disease in each of the specific stages of the disease, who was wrongly diagnosed four times. The child arrives at Francisco de Ycaza Bustamante Hospital in subacute stage of the disease; due to the delay in timely diagnosis and treatment, the child presented affectations of the coronary arteries. A review of the disease is performed and the importance of knowing the clinical features of the disease is highlighted. Despite the fact that the disease is not common in our environment, it is important to know its characteristics for timely diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid coronary damage that can produce myocardial infarction, ruptured aneurysm, sudden death, among other severe complications.
