    <abstract locale="en_US">Kawasaki disease is a rheumatologic disorder that is due to small- to&#xA0;medium-sized vessels necrotizing vasculitis with unknown origin. The&#xA0;disease affects children predominantly, but rarely occurs in adults. We&#xA0;report a case of 23-year-old woman from Iran who had got high grade&#xA0;fever, bilateral non-purulent conjunctivitis, myalgia, palms and soles&#xA0;exanthema, and desquamation. After 5 days of empirical antibiotic therapy&#xA0;without any organisms identified for source of infection, the diagnosis was&#xA0;established. No treatment with intravenous gammaglobulin and aspirin&#xA0;was administered and her echocardiogram showed normal coronary&#xA0;arteries. The age of our patient is an unusual aspect of the disease&#xA0;presentation in Iran. The diagnosis of Kawasaki in adults should be&#xA0;considered in patients with prolonged fever not responding to antibiotics&#xA0;with clinical features of Kawasaki disease.</abstract>
