Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome and infantile polyarteritis nodosa, is known to present in multiple ways. Although inflammatory changes in several systems have been reported in KD, there are few documented child patients presenting with parotitis. We report such a case in a five-year-old.
