Influenza virus infection is a common respiratory disease in children. Renal complications of influenza infection were not commonly encountered until the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, when acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently developed in severely ill patients. Kawasaki disease (KD) is another rare association in pandemic influenza virus infections. There are some reports about KD coincident with influenza A H1N1/09 infection. However, simultaneous AKI and KD in influenza A or B virus infections have never been reported. Herein, we report the first case of influenza B virus infection that initially presented as AKI but was subsequently diagnosed as atypical KD.
