Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile vasculitis in children less than 5 years old. Infection is probably considered as a predisposing factor with complications such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, seizures, and irritability. We report a case of a 3-month-old boy with Kawasaki Disease (KD) complicated with HSV type-1 encephalitis.
