What is Kawasaki Disease?

Kawasaki disease causes swelling, called inflammation, in the walls of small to medium-sized blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body. Kawasaki disease most often affects the heart arteries in children. Those arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. It also causes swelling in glands, called lymph nodes, and mucous membranes inside the mouth, nose, eyes and throat. Symptoms include a fever greater than 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) for five or more days, a rash on the main part of the body or in the genital area, an enlarged lymph node in the neck, very red eyes without a thick discharge, red, dry, cracked lips and a red, swollen tongue, swollen, red skin on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Later the skin on fingers and toes peels.

Typical Symptoms of Kawasaki Disease

Diagnostic Questions for Kawasaki Disease

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you have a fever?
  • Do you have bloodshot (red) eyes?
  • Do you have any swollen lymph nodes or lumps in your neck, armpits, groin, or behind your ears?
  • Is your whole body red?
  • Are your fingers or toes red, swollen, and stiff?

Treatment of Kawasaki Disease

The standard treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs. The doctor may recommend IVIG, a mixture of antibodies that will reduce heart inflammation. If there is damage to the heart's blood vessels, lifelong follow-up with a heart specialist may be needed.
