  • Title: Kawasaki disease: a 'new' pediatric enigma.
    Author: Morens DM, Nahmias AJ.
    Journal: Hosp Pract; 1978 Sep; 13(9):109-12, 119-20. PubMed ID: 30691.
    Abstract:
    More than 250 cases of this puzzling illness, first described in Japan a decade ago, have now been reported in the United States. The etiology, epidemiology, and true incidence remain to be determined. But since some 2% of victims develop severe cardiac complications and some may die suddenly months after apparent complete recovery, pediatricians must now consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of protracted, febrile illness.
