PAN is associated with hepatitis B in 30 % of pts.it is associated with anerysmal nodules
Kawasaki is a mucocutaneous lymph node syndrom characterized by acute necrotizing vasculitis
Both involve small and medium sixe arterioles
PAN is more systemicwhile kawasaki is mostly in lymph nodes

associated with hypertension and renal failure
chest involvement (70%)
cardiomegaly/pericardial effusion
wedge shaped/round peripheral infiltrates simulating PE
