Abstract:
Kawasaki disease is far more frequent in children than in adults. The pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease is unknown, but it involves changes to the coronary artery and other diverse clinical manifestations. There are currently no specific laboratory diagnostic indexes, and especially since the disease is rare in adults, so it is extremely easy to misdiagnose or to overlook entirely. Our retrospective analysis of an diagnosis of and treatment for Kawasaki disease in an adult provides a guide to clinical doctors in terms of understanding Kawasaki disease, early diagnosis of it, and improved prognosis.
