Kawasaki disease (also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a rare condition that causes severe fever and inflammation of the skin, mouth, and lymph nodes in young children.
It primarily affects children under five years of age, and it is more common in boys than in girls.
The condition was first diagnosed by a Japanese doctor, Tomisaku Kawasaki, in 1967.
Kawasaki disease can cause a variety of virus-like symptoms, which can sometimes make it difficult for the condition to be diagnosed.
There is no single test or procedure that can confirm the condition.
The cause of Kawasaki disease is unknown.
Although Kawasaki disease cannot be prevented, most children will make a full recovery within a few days.
Most common complications involve the heart and in severe cases, can prove fatal.
