Kawasaki Disease: Cases
built 655 days ago
In most cases, the effects on the heart caused by Kawasaki disease are temporary, and resolve within five or six weeks. However, coronary artery problems may sometimes persist for longer periods of time.

There are no specific diagnostic tests available to diagnose Kawasaki’s disease. Rather, this disease is suspected when the characteristic signs and symptoms are present in small children. An incomplete form of Kawasaki’s disease, causing only a few of the characteristic signs, may occur and be difficult to distinguish from viral as well as Staphylococcus and sSreptococcus infections. In the past Kawasaki’s disease may have been misdiagnosed as polyarteritis nodosa with reports of old cases appearing identical to fatal cases of Kawasaki’s disease today.
