An 18-month-old child is referred to a children's hospital because of 8 days of high sustained fever. The fever began abruptly, and has not
responded to antibiotic therapy. On physical examination, the child is noted to be very irritable. The cervical lymph nodes are markedly
enlarged. A polymorphous rash with erythema of the extremities is seen, as is desquamation of the fingers and toes. The lips are swollen and
fissured, and within the mouth, the tongue has a strawberry appearance and the pharynx appears edematous. Bilateral conjunctivitis is also
noted.
Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Aran-Duchenne disease
B. Bowen disease
C. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
D. Christmas disease
E. Kawasaki disease
