Abstract

In dengue-endemic regions, prolonged fever with mucocutaneous findings may represent classical Kawasaki disease (KD), dengue-associated KD-like inflammation, or true concomitant disease. When KD cannot be confidently excluded, timely IVIG administration may be justified to prevent coronary complications. Structured follow-up including serial echocardiography remains essential.
