Abstract

There are several pediatric conditions which can present with fever and rash; however, it is uncommon to have two diseases occurring in a patient at the same time. We report a young child with fever and rash. He was initially diagnosed to have dengue fever based on clinical features and serological tests. Later in the course of illness he developed findings consistent with Kawasaki disease. This is extremely unusual and has rarely been reported before.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
