RESUMO
Hepatobiliary involvement is uncommon in Kawasaki disease, and it is usually described as obstructive jaundice. From January 01, 2000 to August 31, 2010, 31 Kawasaki disease cases were diagnosed in our center. Three of them (9.7%) developed jaundice, but there were no gallbladder or bile duct abnormalities by ultrasonography, a feature rarely reported. Resolution of cholestasis paralleled improvement of the illness.
