Kawasaki Disease: Kawasaki disease, or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, occurs predominantly in children and rarely in adults. Symptoms include acute vasculitis, mucosal inflammation, rash, cervical adenopathy, hand and foot swelling, and late fingertip desquamation. In the most severe cases, aneurysms develop in one or more coronary arteries.

No: Although tongue-rash-eye problems are 'classic' for kawasaki disease, 'atypical kawasaki' can also occur and not present with all the classical signs. Treatment, however, is the same. You doctor can discuss these findings with you.
