Kawasaki Disease

Kawasaki Disease is an acute vasculitis primarily affecting children, characterised by prolonged fever, rash, conjunctivitis, and lymphadenopathy. It is clinically significant due to its potential to cause coronary artery aneurysms, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial to prevent long-term cardiovascular complications. The disease is often associated with a preceding upper respiratory infection, highlighting the need for awareness in paediatric practice.
