Abstract

A 42-year-old man was referred for a week history of severe dysphagia, odynophagia, fever (39 °C), fatigue, abdominal pain, pharyngeal swelling, and multiple neck lymphadenopathies. The medical history reported a mild form of COVID-19 one month ago. The biology reported an unspecified inflammatory syndrome. The patient developed peritonitis, myocarditis, and hepatitis. A myocardium biopsy was performed. A diagnosis of Kawasaki-like disease (KLD) was performed. The occurrence of KLD in adults is rare but has to be known by otolaryngologists regarding the otolaryngological clinical presentation that may precede the multiple organ failure.
