Kawasaki Disease

About Kawasaki Disease

Kawasaki Disease(KD) is an official publication of the Korean Society of Kawasaki Disease (KSKD) and a peer-reviewed, open-access, multidisciplinary journal directed to physicians, other health care professionals and researchers who are interested in Kawasaki disease. Its regional focus is mainly Korea, but it also welcomes submissions from researchers and physicians all over the world. KD is concerned with the dissemination of knowledge on clinical, basic science and innovative methods related to Kawasaki disease or Kawasaki-like disease. The categories of manuscripts are original articles, reviews, editorials, case reports, other publications recognized by the Publications Committee. The journal is published twice a year on the official website https://www.e-kd.org. It is planned to be indexed in KCI, PubMEd, Scopus, Google Scholar, KoreaMed, KoreaMed Synapse and KoMCI, and easily available to wide international researchers.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is believed to be related to an infectious pathogen, but the causative agent and pathophysiology are still unknown. KD has epidemiological characteristics that are different from common infectious diseases. There is a gap of about 5 to 10 years between when KD first appeared in Japan and when it appeared in neighboring countries such as Korea, Taiwan, and China. KD is spreading slowly and steadily to this day, suggesting that its cause is related to environmental changes such as westernized diet and economic growth. KD inc...

Recent efforts have sought to analyze major issues related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Kawasaki disease patients using machine learning. Presentations have highlighted the application of image analysis related to clinical findings that correspond to the diagnostic criteria for Kawasaki disease, as well as the evaluation of coronary artery ultrasound images. Additionally, studies have aimed to utilize machine learning models based on numerical data to predict the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease, the occurrence of coronary artery ...

Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis affecting children and the leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries. This vasculitis has a predilection for the coronary arteries, and coronary artery abnormalities are the main criteria for diagnosis. The diagnosis of coronary abnormalities has been based on dichotomous criteria for a long time, but recent guidelines have accepted the body surface area adjusted z score system to define coronary abnormalities and classify coronary artery aneurysms. Z score systems have impro...

Children with Kawasaki disease (KD) receive intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for treatment. IVIG is a polyclonal immunoglobulin purified from plasma of blood donors. There are concerns that these passively acquired antibodies may interfere with the immune response to vaccination. In this study, the authors describe the basic principles of vaccination after IVIG treatment in children with KD. The in vivo half-life of IVIG depends on the type, dose, and administration method of IVIG, as well as the age, gender, and race of the host. IVIG does no...

Background: We aimed to evaluate the differences in clinical characteristics and risk factors for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary artery dilatation (CAD) in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) according to age. Methods: We collected data of patients between 2009 and 2019 and divided them into three groups according to age at diagnosis. Results: A total of 644 patients were enrolled: 168 (26.1%) in the younger age (≤ 12 months of age), 407 (63.2%) in the usual age (13–60 months of age), and 69 (10.7%) in the older a...
