Choroiditis in infantile periarteritis nodosa

J. M. Googe Jr, S. E. Brady, J. C. Argyle, D. J. Apple and W. M. Gooch 3rd

The ocular pathologic findings were determined in a case of fatal infantile periarteritis nodosa (IPN). To our knowledge, this case is the first histologically documented report of choroidal inflammation associated with this disease. Since the clinical and pathologic findings of IPN and Kawasaki's disease (KD) are identical, these findings should be sought in cases of KD.
