  • Title: Kawasaki syndrome.
    Author: Lohr JA, Rheuban KS.
    Journal: Infect Dis Clin North Am; 1987 Sep; 1(3):559-74. PubMed ID: 3332885.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki syndrome is a recently recognized acute febrile illness of childhood. The etiology is unknown, and diagnosis depends on fulfilling certain clinical criteria. The significance of the disorder rests primarily on possible cardiovascular involvement, which occurs in about 50 per cent of patients. At least 20 per cent develop coronary artery aneurysms. Therapy remains nonspecific and incompletely effective.
