Rash
An erythematous rash usually appears within 5 days of fever onset.
Most commonly, this is a diffuse maculopapular eruption.
Scarlatiniform erythroderma and erythema multiforme-like rashes are
also common. Less commonly, urticarial or fine micropustular
eruptions are observed. The rash is usually extensive, primarily
involving the trunk and extremities, and accentuation in the groin with
early desquamation is a characteristic feature. An unusually severe
form of psoriasis with plaques and pustular features can rarely occur
during or after the acute KD illness.80 Patients may also experience a
flare of new-onset atopic dermatitis during the subacute phase.
Bullous, vesicular, and petechial rashes are not consistent with KD
and should prompt a search for an alternative diagnosis.

Conjunctivitis
Bilateral bulbar nonexudative conjunctival injection usually begins
shortly after fever onset and often spares the limbus, an avascular
zone around the iris. Anterior uveitis is often observed by slit-lamp
examination during the first week of fever.81,82 Subconjunctival
hemorrhage and punctate keratitis are occasionally observed.82,83
