Popis:	Kawasaki disease also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is a generalised vasculitis of unknown etiology. Presenting a review of the literature and using our cases for illustration we discuss some of the pertinent features in the evaluation and management of patients with this condition. 2 cases of Kawasaki disease have been evaluated and treated in the department of ENT and Paediatrics who responded satisfactorily to treatment with I.V.Immunoglobulin and Aspirin. The case reports have been presented in view of the rarity of reporting of similar cases in India and the need for early diagnosis and prompt treatment to prevent coronary artery aneurysm and other serious complications.
