ABSTRACT
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many new presentations of known conditions are appearing. In the pediatric population, new cases of Kawasaki disease have recently been reported as co-presenting with COVID-19 or shortly after diagnosis. This poses a novel situation, particularly for otolaryngologists, who may be the first to treat these patients. Otolaryngologists must be aware of the coexistence of conditions to allow timely diagnosis and management.
