Association Between COVID‐19 and Kawasaki Disease: Vigilance Required From Otolaryngologists: Authors’ Response

Abstract

We would like to thank Dr Sert for the thoughtful response. We agree that early cardiac consultation and vigilant followup are necessary to provide appropriate management for pediatric patients diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. A diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complicates this disease process. For this reason, along with increasing awareness of pediatric systemic multisystem inflammatory syndrome, this area is continuously evolving. Therefore, there are expected to be continued advances in knowledge to give these patients the best possible prognosis.
