Abstract

Painless cholestasis and hydrops of the gallbladder may occur as secondary symptoms in Kawasaki syndrome. Surgical treatment is rarely indicated. Our case report confirms the validity of this conservative approach. In addition, during the course of the disease we observed a pancreatitis without severe symptoms; this has not been described in connection with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome to date.
