Document: Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis and is the leading cause of acquired cardiac disease in children. Among the ocular manifestations in these patients, bilateral non-suppurative conjunctival injection and uveitis are the most common.

For her ocular involvement, she was treated expectantly, and after six weeks there was complete resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first report from Latin America and among the few in the literature of a child in whom severe bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages occur as a manifestation of Kawasaki disease.
