Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vascular disease that affects mostly medium sized and small vessels [1]. It is usually a self–limited disease with the highest incidence occurring in children under five years of age. We present a case of a 14 year old boy who presented with fever and rash in the lower part of the trunks and legs. Clinical examination revealed the presence of cervical lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis and strawberry tongue. After making a clinical diagnosis of Kawasaki disease, the patient was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and aspirin. Proper diagnosis based on clinical findings, proper investigations and follow–ups are important to treat and prevent associated complications of the disease especially coronary aneurysm
