“…Frequently, KD will develop two to three weeks after an acute viral illness. Viral illnesses that have been associated with KD include, but are not limited to, influenza enterovirus, adenovirus, parvovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, varicella, Ebstein-Barr, measles, dengue, and coronavirus [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. As mentioned, previous strains of coronavirus have been associated with KD.…”

A hyperinflammatory syndrome has been described in times of COVID-19 in children. In the setting of uncertainty due to a new virus, the so-called hyperinflammatory syndrome has been coined as a novel entity by some and is being referred to as pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS). However, the characteristics of the syndrome resemble those of Kawasaki disease (KD), an inflammatory syndrome in children that can lead to coronary artery abnormalities due to a subsequent vasculitis. Furthermore, Kawasaki disease may occasionally trigger macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a condition in which there is uncontrolled activation and proliferation of macrophages and other cell types, and could lead to multiorgan system dysfunction. This study provides a review of the data regarding COVID-19, Kawasaki disease, and macrophage activation syndrome to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the inflammatory syndrome seen with COVID-19 and KD. In addition, a framework for diagnosis and evaluation is provided that focuses on the pathway previously established for KD and MAS. The authors believe that based on current knowledge, KD treatment delays may carry deleterious effects in the near future for children with COVID-19-related Kawasaki disease.

“…The most frequent association of KD is with viral infections like Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, parvovirus B19, herpes virus 6, parainfluenza type 3, measles, rotavirus, dengue virus, human immunodeficiency virus, varicella, H1N1 2009 pandemic influenza, coronaviruses, and coxsackie B3 virus [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Even bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes have been implicated [20].…”

Objective To describe various infectious triggers for Kawasaki disease (KD) in India. Methods A series of 10 children with diagnosed infections who developed KD during their course of illness has been presented. They were diagnosed by the American Heart Association (AHA) 2017 guidelines. Echocardiography was done to check for coronary artery dilation. Treatment was instituted as per standard protocol. Results Kawasaki disease was diagnosed in 8 boys and 2 girls, aged 1 mo to 11 y. These children were being treated for dengue, chikungunya, SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis A, tuberculosis, brucellosis, disseminated staphylococcal sepsis, scrub typhus, and enteric fever. Conclusions Kawasaki disease has been associated with infectious triggers. It should be considered in febrile patients with mucocutaneous involvement or in nonresponsive sepsis, despite adequate therapy.

“…The epidemiological patterns of KD are quite measles, and dengue [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . Studies have described an association between viral respiratory infections and KD, ranging from 9% to 42% of patients with a positive test for viral respiratory infection within 30 days before the diagnosis of KD 15,[25][26][27] .…”

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To present scientific evidence based on a systematic literature review (PRISMA) evaluating the association of Kawasaki Disease (DK) and COVID-19 in children. METHODS For the selection of studies, a combination based on the Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH) was used. The Medline (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, COCHRANE, and BIREME databases were used. The search period for the articles comprised the last 10 years (2010 to 2020). RESULTS 840 articles with potential for inclusion were retrieved, one of which met the inclusion criteria and the guiding question that consisted of evaluating the association of Kawasaki disease and COVID-19 in children. CONCLUSION A significant increase in the incidence of Kawasaki-type diseases after the onset of the epidemic has been reported, suggesting an association between the COVID-19 epidemic and the high incidence of a severe form of KD. However, further studies are needed to conduct an investigation of the association between these two diseases.
