Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that predominantly affects patients younger than 5 years. In the absence of an available, affordable diagnostic test, detailed clinical history and physical examination are still fundamental to make a diagnosis. Methods: We present five representative cases with KD‐like presentations: systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, mycoplasma‐induced rash and mucositis, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, BCGosis, and the recently described multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C) associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV2) virus. Results: Rash, fever, and laboratory markers of inflammation can be present in several childhood diseases that may mimic KD. Conclusion: The term 'Kawasaki syndrome' instead of 'Kawasaki disease' may be more appropriate. Physicians should consider an alternative diagnosis that may mimic KD, particularly considering MIS‐C during the present pandemic, as an aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach is needed.
