Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a rare febrile illness affecting infants and young children, potentially leading to coronary artery complications and, in severe cases, mortality if untreated. However, KD is frequently misdiagnosed as a common fever in clini...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a prominent therapeutic agent for Kawasaki disease (KD) that significantly reduces the incidence of coronary artery anomalies. Various methodologies, including machine learning, have been...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to leverage real-world electronic medical record data to develop interpretable machine learning models for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease while also exploring and prioritizing the significant risk factors.

Inflammatory syndromes, including those caused by infection, are a major cause of hospital admissions among children and are often misdiagnosed because of a lack of advanced molecular diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the utility of circul...
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute pediatric vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery aneurysms and severe cardiovascular complications, often presenting with obvious fever in the early stages. In current clinical practice, distinguishi...
BACKGROUND: The bile acid metabolism (BAM) and fatty acid metabolism (FAM) have been implicated in Kawasaki disease (KD), but their precise mechanisms remain unclear. Identifying signature cells and genes related to BAM and FAM could offer a deeper u...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, often resulting in coronary artery complications such as dilation, aneurysms, and stenosis. While intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is effective in reducing immunologic i...
Early diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) allows timely treatment to be initiated, thereby preventing coronary artery aneurysms in children. However, it is challenging due to the subjective nature of the diagnostic criteria. This study aims to develop...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a syndrome of acute systemic vasculitis commonly observed in children. Due to its unclear pathogenesis and the lack of specific diagnostic markers, it is prone to being confused with other diseases that exhibit similar sympto...
BACKGROUND: Infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and can also exacerbate the symptoms of Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute vasculitis that mostly affects children. This study used bioinformatics and machine le...
