AB  - This report presents a case of atypical Kawasaki disease (KD) in a 4-year-old boy 
      developing with severe colitis accompanied by frequent diarrhoea and hypokalemic 
      dehydration. Abdominal ultrasonography showed findings of left colon mucosal 
      thickening and prominent dilatation of the colon. Antibiotic treatment was not 
      effective. Some symptoms of KD appeared with progression of the illness. 
      Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administered based on a diagnosis of 
      incomplete KD on the ninth day of the illness. The patient became afebrile soon 
      after IVIG therapy. Diarrhoea and other symptoms dramatically subsided. The 
      patient has recovered during the 3-month follow-up and repeated echocardiograms 
      were normal.
