Popis:	This report details a case of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS) recognized in the continental United States. Reported originally by Kawasaki in 1967,1 the syndrome has since occurred widely in Japan.2 Except for Melish et al.'s report of nine cases in Hawaii, MLNS has thus far not been reported from any other area.3 CASE REPORT T. S., a 2-year-old white boy, became ill with fever on August 19, 1974, and was examined on the third day of illness. His temperature had fluctuated between 38.9 and 39.4 C; when examined he had a markedly tender 2 x 4-cm single anterior cervical node accompanied by redness of the overlying skin.
