Abstract

We report 2 children with Kawasaki disease, who developed pancreatitis and common bile duct abnormalities. After reviewing the literature, we conclude that Kawasaki disease may lead to such changes as a result of the underlying vasculitis characterizing this disease, or of direct inflammation of the biliary tree.
