Kawasaki disease (KD) in adolescence and adulthood is often underrecognized, because KD predominantly affects infants and young children below the age of 5years. We report four cases of KD in patients 16-32years of age. The first department that the patients visited was the Department of ...
Missed KD Presenting in Adulthood In 1992, Kato et al. (38) in Japan published the results of a questionnaire survey sent to adult cardiologists that asked about adult patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease that could reasonably be attributed to antecedent KD. The survey ide...

Kawasaki disease (KD), also known by the name mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is an acute, self-limited medium vessel vasculitis that has a predilection for the coronary arteries.[1]It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed nations and is slowly bypassing rheumatic heart ...
Background — More and more children, who suffered from Kawasaki disease in childhood, reach today adulthood. The future perspectives of these patients are not yet well defined, therefore, we wanted to determine mid-term outcome of our Kawasaki patients.Methodology— All patients with the diagnosis...
1. On the basis of available data, patients with no demonstrated coronary artery dilation by echocardiogram with excellent visualization of all arterial segments during the first weeks of illness appear to have normal cardiovascular status in early adulthood. 2. Remodeling (so-called regression) of ...

44,45 Myocarditis and scarring of coronary arteries with stenosis also are detected in LCWE-induced vasculitis, even after the acute phase, similarly to long-term cardiovascular sequelae of KD patients in adulthood.89 Coronary artery involvement is the primary focus of research in KD owing to ...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is not only the leading cause of childhood acquired heart diseases, but also causes profound coronary artery sequelae due to chronic vascular inflammation in adulthood. Of unknown underlying mechanism, both innate and adaptive immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of ...
