  Kawasaki's disease is a systemic vasculitis that primarily affects children between 6 months and 5 years old. Its evolution is usually self-limiting but it can leave serious sequelae, especially if an appropriate treatment is not initiated. The etiology is unknown, but different bacteria appear to be involved through the formation of superantigens, causing an intense inflammatory response. This article presents an association between Kawasaki syndrome and urinary tract infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a girl of 2 years old and discusses their possible relationship.
