The median age for Kawasaki disease is the first 2 years, and more than 80% of cases are children under 4 years of age.
It is very rarely seen above 8 years of age. It is more common in winter and spring seasons.
Diagnostic criteria are fever higher than 38.2°C lasting longer than 5 days, watery eyes, red rashes on trunk, arms and legs, cracked red lips, strawberry tongue appearance, painless lymph nodes larger than 1.5-2 cm in the neck region, redness in the palms. There are swelling in the fingers, peeling of the hands and feet.
Apart from these, it causes disease in the cardiovascular system by affecting the vessels.
Diagnosis is made not on the basis of a single laboratory test, but on the basis of the combination of clinical findings.
Scientific criteria have not been established about the clinical course of the covid-19 disease in children, which has been experienced intensely in recent months. However, the clinical course or co-existence of many viruses causes similarity of clinical pictures and complicates the diagnostic criteria.
The treatment of almost all childhood viral diseases, including Kawasaki, is within the supportive treatment protocols.
