“…However, the exact reason for the development of MERS in patients with bacterial infection, as well as our patient, is unknown. Serum proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are elevated in patients with acute pyelonephritis [4, 9], and Kawasaki disease, by which MERS is also complicated [13]. Therefore, activation of the immune system is likely to be associated with the pathogenesis of MERS.…”

“…[39,40] At present, KD is considered to be immune-mediated vasculitis. Takanashi et al [38] reported 4 patients developed RESLES with KD. Researchers have found that the mechanism of RESLES in KD patients was incompletely clear.…”

“…Researchers have found that the mechanism of RESLES in KD patients was incompletely clear. [38] It had been found many proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were elevated in patients with KD during the acute phase, such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin 1, 6, 8, and vascular endothelial growth factor. [4142] Proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines might contribute to the inflammatory infiltration which serves as a possible mechanism for transient restricted diffusion in cases of RESLES.…”

“…It is believed to be caused by infectious agents, host immune dysregulation, and genetic susceptibility. During the acute stage of KD, activation of vascular endothelial cells and increased serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines lead to inflammation and injury of blood vessels [6-8]. The vascular inflammation may induce the development of aneurysms and cardiac complications.…”
