Abstract

Kawasaki syndrome is a systemic vasculitis in which bilateral nonexudative conjunctivitis and bilateral anterior uveitis are common findings early in the course of the illness. Slit lamp examination is a useful clinical tool in differentiating patients with KS from patients with other diseases characterized by fever, rash and bilateral conjunctivitis. Referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist early in the course of the illness can help in the diagnosis of this disease.
