case_images: The rash was non-tender, with erythematous desquamating lesions over the eyelids and bilateral conjunctivitis (Figure 1).

case_images: A transient resolution of the fever coincided with steroid initiation, and a subsequent elevation in temperature was noted when the steroids were interrupted (Figure 2). On day four of admission, in light of an audible gallop rhythm, persistently low mean arterial pressures and newly elevated cardiac troponin-T levels, a repeat ECHO was performed, revealing an ejection fraction (EF) of 10% (Figure 2) with global hypokinesia, four chamber dilation, moderate functional tricuspid and mitral regurgitation with a sliver of pericardial effusion. Defervescence was noted on day six (Figure 2), accompanied by a downward trend in inflammatory markers, LDH and ferritin.
