    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease is an autoimmune disease that manifests as a multisystemic necrotizing medium vessel vasculitis that is largely seen in children under 5 years of age. It affects many organs, including the skin, lymph nodes, and blood vessel walls, but the most serious effect is on the heart where it can cause severe aneurysmal dilations in untreated children. The aim of this paper is to evidence the recent advances in the diagnosis and therapy of this disease.
