Kawasaki? Adenovirus? Kawasaki da adenovirus o con adenovirus?

Kawasaki disease (KD) still represents a challenge for differential diagnosis because it shares clinical features with other infectious diseases. Adenovirus infection has many symptoms that can be found among the diagnostic criteria of KD. However, the two entities have some minor differences that are useful to distinguish them. It is quite important, even with a positive PCR test for adenovirus, not to exclude a possible KD to avoid a diagnosis delay and possible severe complications.
