“…Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a generalized vasculitis in children, still of unknown etiology [ 1 ]. Other than boys < 5 years being most often affected 1 , its incidence also reveals a geographic and ethnic susceptibility, as children of Asian origin are affected more often than those of Caucasian origin: the highest incidence in children aged 0–4 years is in Japan, with 359/100,000 in 2018 [ 2 ], whereas the annual incidence in Germany is 7.2/100,000 [ 3 ].…”

“…Clinically, KD presents with persistent fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, non-exudative conjunctivitis, enanthema, polymorphous exanthema and reddened palms and soles, with subsequent scaling on the toes and fingers. Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are KD’s most feared complication, with a strong impact on long-term morbidity; they still occur in approximately 5% of all children who undergo intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment [ 1 , 4 ], and in even 25% of untreated children [ 4 ]. Its acute clinical presentation already shows that the inflammatory process is not only limited to the coronary arteries, but is probably attributable to vascular changes in various tissues and organs, e.g., the gastrointestinal tract (pain, vomiting, diarrhea), meninges (aseptic meningitis) or lung (interstitial pneumonitis) [ 5 ].…”
