  • Title: Studies on rickettsia-like body in Kawasaki disease. Attempts of the isolation and characterization.
    Author: Tasaka K, Hamashima Y.
    Journal: Acta Pathol Jpn; 1978 Mar; 28(2):235-45. PubMed ID: 354323.
    Abstract:
    Rickettsia-like bodies were reportedly found in biopsies of the skin and lymph nodes from half the number of patients with Kawasaki's disease. In our present work, these microbodies were isolated from the peripheral whole blood of a patient with Kawasaki's disease (MLNS) through passage of guinea pigs and yolk sac culture. However, the isolated strains disappeared spontaneously during their stores at -80 degrees C for two weeks.
