Introduction
Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile vasculitic
syndrome of early childhood
The disorder has also been called mucocutaneous
lymph node syndrome
Kawasaki disease was first described in 1967 by Dr
Tomisaku Kawasaki
4. Epidemiology
The incidence of KD is greatest in children who live
in East Asia or are of Asian ancestry living in other
parts of the world
In 1976, Melish et al first reported Kawasaki disease
in the United States
higher in the Asian populations (in Japan
239.6/100,000 children < 5 years of age per year)
than in Europe, where the incidence ranges from 4.9
to 15.2/100,000/year in the same age group
5. Cont….
Approximately 5000-6000 cases are reported each
year in japan
Ontario has the highest rate of Kawasaki disease
outside of Asia, with a yearly incidence of 26.2 cases
per 100,000 population younger than 5 years
6. Cause
The cause of Kawasaki disease is unknown
It does not appear to be hereditary or contagious
Because the illness frequently occurs in outbreaks
It is very rare for more than one child in a family to
develop Kawasaki disease.

A fever lasting at least 5 days
Red eyes
A body rash

below the peeling skin.

11. Diagnosis
Kawasaki disease can be hard to diagnose, because
there is not a test for it
Physicians make the diagnosis after carefully
examining a child, observing signs and symptoms
Blood tests
Urine tests
12. Treatment and Prevention
Kawasaki disease is frequently treated in the
hospital, with a stay from a few days to a few weeks
Some children may receive care at home without
hospitalization.
Even though the cause of Kawasaki disease is
unknown, specific medications are known to be
beneficial
Aspirin
Intravenous gamma globulin

recover—usually within weeks of getting signs and
symptoms.
