Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome in the United States
M. E. Melish, R. M. Hicks and E. J. Larson
Sixteen patients with an unusual and distinct symptom complex were
encountered during a four-year period. Principal features of this syndrome
are (1) fever lasting more than seven days; (2) conjunctival injection; (3)
changes in the mouth consisting of erythema of the oropharynx, "strawberry
tongue", and erythema of the lips; (4) indurative edema of hands and feet
with palm and sole erythema followed by desquamation of the fingertips; and
(5) an erythematous rash. Associated features were lymphadenopathy, pyuria,
aseptic meningitis, diarrhea, arthritis, and arthralgia. Although usually a
self-limited illness, one patient died with massive coronary artery
thrombosis on the 19th day of illness. This syndrome appears to be
clinically and pathologically similar to mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome,
an illness prevalent in Japan but previously unrecognized by American
clinicians. Pathologic features suggest a relationship to infantile
periarteritis nodosa.
