Abstract Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is uncommon in children except in Kawasaki disease. Occasionally it can be seen in children with congenital disorders such as connective tissue diseases and underlying inflammatory disease. Other reported causes of CAA such as atherosclerosis, Takayasu arteritis and infections are more common in adult patients. We reported a 11-year-old Chinese boy with fever, skin rashes and hepatosplenomegaly who was diagnosed to have scrub typhus and right coronary artery aneurysm.
