Mucous membranes are not involved in S. Aureus scalded skin syndrome.
BTW, asian does not correlate with kawasaki absolutely, so dont be surprised if you see a young American child with this presentation.

Huge risk of heart attack from coronary thrombosis. ANY child who dies from MI likely had Kawasakis.
