ABSTRACT
A 9-year-old boy died of rabies complications. We report the unusual combination between rabies, coronary dilatation on echocardiography and coronary vasculitis documented upon autopsy. In the search for the etiological agent of Kawasaki disease, we suggest that a viral infection with potential antigenic similarities to rabies virus should be entertained.
