Kawasaki disease after respiratory viral infections is often observed but following Human Metapneumovirus infection (HMPV) is uncommon. Pulmonary presentation of Kawasaki disease without its classical features, though uncommon, can present as bronchopneumonia refractory to routine supportive care and antibiotics treatment. Lung collapse and pneumothorax as a pulmonary presentation of atypical Kawasaki disease are described very infrequently. We report an infant with atypical Kawasaki disease secondary to Human Metapneumovirus infection where the above pulmonary complications were observed.
