Abstract :
We present a case of a 47-year-old female with a history of diagnosed KD and autoimmune hepatitis 13 years ago who presented with recurrent fevers and a desquamative rash on the lower extremities. CT neck showed enlarged lymph nodes, and with her daily fevers and skin rashes the presentation was concerning for recurrence of her KD. Patient was also found to have an elevated ASMA titer, and subsequent liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. She was started on methylprednisolone with improvement. Our case emphasizes the association of KD with autoimmune conditions other than SLE. Given the recurrence of the disease after a decade of quiescence, long-term follow-up of patients with KD should be implemented.
