    Author: Almeida B, Gleeson P, Chawla K, Brogan P.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med (Lond); 2012 Feb; 73(2):C26-8. PubMed ID: 22504712.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease was initially described by a Japanese paediatrician, Dr Tomisaku Kawasaki, in 1967. He reported an acute mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome affecting the skin, mucosa and lymph nodes. This initial description has since been expanded and is now recognized as Kawasaki disease, an acute systemic selflimiting vasculitis complicated by coronary arterial aneurysms, and even myocardial infarction in some patients (Shulman et al, 1995; Kato et al, 1996; Brogan et al, 2002).
