AB Two Edmonton children recently had a disease seemingly new to North America but a common problem in young children in Japan in the last few years. Named "mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome", it is an acute febrile condition with massive focal cervical lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis and indurative edema of the hands and feet progressing to desquamation. It may have an infectious basis and therefore may become common in Canada.
