Kawasaki disease is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the USA. An acute vasculitis of unknown etiology, it occurs predominantly in infancy and early childhood, and more rarely in teenagers. Coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia develop in approximately 15-25% of children with the disease. Treatment with intravenous gamma globulin,

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1995
Although a general consensus on the etiology of Kawasaki syndrome has not been reached, increasing evidence suggests that this illness represents a response to a superantigen. This conclusion is based on the observations of the immunologic changes that characterize the acute stages of illness as well as on the demonstrated association with toxin ...

Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis of unknown cause that occurs predominantly in infants and young children and produces coronary artery aneurysms in approximately 15% to 25% of those affected. In the United States, Kawasaki disease is more commonly the cause of noncongenital heart disease in children than is acute rheumatic fever.

Kawasaki syndrome is a leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease in the United States. Coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia develop in approximately 15 to 25 per cent of affected children; treatment with intravenous gamma globulin in the acute phase reduces this risk three- to five-fold.

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2015
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the archetypal pediatric vasculitis, exemplifying the unique aspects and challenges of vascular inflammation in children. The condition is almost unheard of in adults, is closely associated with infections, and is self-limited, with fever resolving after an average of 12 days even without treatment. Yet KD is also a potentially

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1996
The 5th International Kawasaki Disease Symposium was held in May 1995 in Fukuoka, Japan. No one infectious agent has been found to initiate the syndrome, although the occurrence of Kawasaki disease in epidemics and its resemblance to toxic-shock syndrome make an infectious etiology seem most likely.
