  • Title: Kawasaki disease. Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome or MCLS.
    Author: Kawasaki T.
    Journal: Acta Pathol Jpn; 1982; 32 Suppl 1():63-72. PubMed ID: 7187577.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is an acute febrile eruptive disease occurring mostly in infants and young children. A nation-wide survey between 1970 and 1980 in Japan revealed 26,543 cases including 228 deaths. Although the differential diagnosis with infantile periarteritis nodosa is difficult, angiitis and aneurysm of coronary arteries accompanied by thrombosis are frequent findings. The pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease is still unknown.
