They were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins with/without percutaneous drainage in combination with amebicidal agents. OUTCOME: Both the children were completely cured of the amebic hepatitis, and had normalization and regression of coronaries at follow-up. MESSAGE: We report the co-existence of amebic hepatitis with Kawasaki disease.
