  • Title: Kawasaki disease: a ride for little girls too!
    Author: Schnautz LS, Leggett P.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2008 Sep; 20(3):265-71. PubMed ID: 18644508.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Little is known about the origin; however, speculation exists that the disease is associated with the use of carpet cleaner or stagnate water. The disease can have devastating lifelong effects on the heart and cardiovascular system. Early recognition of the clinical manifestations by the health care provider may lead to early treatment and prevention of long-term cardiovascular disease. This article presents a case study, with discussion about the prevalence, incidence, pathophysiology, clinical features, and collaborative clinical management of Kawasaki disease.
