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.

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.

Sir .—Yanagihara and Todd in their invited review of Kawasaki's disease (Journal1980;134:606-614) failed to refer to prior reports by myself and my colleagues on the occurrence of Kawasaki's disease in epidemic form in the United States, the efficacy of both aspirin and corticosteroids in controlling symptoms when administered in adequate doses, and ...

Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis and the leading cause of acquired heart disease in North American and Japanese children. The epidemiology, cause, and clinical characteristics of this disease are reviewed. The diagnostic challenge of Kawasaki disease and its implications for coronary artery outcomes are discussed, as are the recommended ...

Atypical cases of KD are common (up to 10% of the total) and the diagnosis should be considered without the full complement of diagnostic criteria. The risk of coronary dilation is high if IVIG is not given. Administration of IVIG is effective at preventing aneurysms, if given early.

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

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 Pediatrics, 1997
Incidence of Kawasaki disease in Japan is 10 times higher than in the United States. Approximately 10% of patients have atypical clinical presentations. Because echocardiographic or angiographic evidence of coronary artery complications is needed for diagnosis, such atypical cases often result in either delay or omission of intravenous gamma globulin ...
