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, 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.

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1993
The cause of Kawasaki disease remains a mystery. Since its original description, many theories regarding the etiology of this serious childhood illness have been proposed, only to be refuted on closer scrutiny. The past year has seen important advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of Kawasaki disease.

Pediatrics in Review
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile, systemic vasculitis with an unknown etiology that mostly affects children under the age of 5, and it is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Despite significant advances in understanding this disease’s pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, and treatment options ...

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.

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

Heart and Vessels, 1985
Kawasaki disease, a pathologic syndrome known to occur in children, was first described in 1967 as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome by Kawasaki. The disease occurs chiefly in infants under 4 years of age, presenting with symptoms similar to scarlet fever or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The changes are found at postmortem and consist of multiple aneurysms
