BACKGROUND: Horse serum-induced immune complex coronary vasculitis in swine is the first experimental model to mimic most of the pictures of Kawasaki disease. Immune complex mechanism has been implicated as one of the possible mechanisms in the patho...

OBJECTIVE: Delayed diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) may lead to serious cardiac complications. We sought to create and test the performance of a natural language processing (NLP) tool, the KD-NLP, in the identification of emergency department (ED) ...
Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. Coronary artery abnormalities are the main complication of Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease patients with intravenous immunoglobulin resistance are at a greater risk of deve...
A new method to predict coronary artery lesions (CALs) in Kawasaki disease (KD) was developed using a mean structure equation model (SEM) and neural networks (Nnet). There were 314 admitted children with KD who met at least four of the six diagnostic...
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis affecting children, which can lead to coronary artery (CA) aneurysms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has identified CA wall damage in KD patients, but it is unclear if these findings correlate with any dist...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) has often been misdiagnosed due to a lack of the clinical manifestations of classic KD. However, it is associated with a markedly higher prevalence of coronary artery lesions. Identifying cor...
INTRODUCTION: In Kawasaki disease (KD), accurate prediction of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance is crucial to reduce a risk for developing coronary artery lesions.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children and is characterized by the presence of a combination of five clinical signs assessed during the physical examination. Timely treatment of intravenous immunoglobin is need...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 10-20% of Kawasaki disease (KD) patients suffer from intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, placing them at higher risk of developing coronary artery aneurysms. Therefore, we aimed to construct an IVIG resistance pred...
