Kawasaki disease: Part I. Diagnosis, clinical features, and pathogenesis
2013, Journal of the American Academy of DermatologyCitation Excerpt :These deep transverse grooves across the nails occur in the convalescent phase of KD, 1 to 2 months after the onset of fever, and may occur without previous color changes.3,10,30 Onychomadesis, in which the nails separate from the matrix, has been described during resolution of the periungual desquamation.64,65 Similar to Beau's lines, these nail findings resolve, and proximal nails regrow normally.63,65
Nail abnormalities associated with systemic pathologies
2013, Clinics in DermatologyNail disorders as signs of pediatric systemic disease
2012, Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health CareCitation Excerpt :The white bands of transverse leukonychia occur most commonly as a result of trauma; distinguishing features include accentuation in the central portion of the nail plate, often with disappearance closer to the lateral edges of the nail plate (Fig 3). Transverse leukonychia has been reported in children in association with Kawasaki disease and AIDS.19-21 Transverse leukonychia has also been associated with chemotherapy, including daunorubicin and doxorubicin, in children.10,22-24
Kawasaki Disease
2012, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :It is important to evaluate the periungual region even in the acute phase, because periungual lifting, or detachment of the skin beneath the nail plate (hyponychium) without frank desquamation, can occur within the febrile period and may help when evaluating a child with prolonged fever. Within 1 to 2 months after the onset of fever, a variety of nail abnormalities have been described in these patients37 of which Beau's lines (deep transverse grooves across the nails) are the most characteristic (see Fig. 2C).20,32 Cervical adenopathy is the least common clinical manifestation of KD.20

2009, Medical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Leprosy can cause leukonychia totalis or partialis.39 Kawasaki disease can demonstrate leukonychia partialis, leukonychia striata, and other nail changes of Beau lines, nail loss, and pincer nail deformity.47 Punctate and striate leukonychia are often caused by nail trauma.44
