Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the leading causes of acquired heart diseases in children aged under 5 years. The clinical manifestations of KD include fever, changes in the extremities, rash or redness at the site of bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination, bilateral bulbar conjunctival hyperemia, changes in lips and mouth, nonsuppurative cervical lymphadenopathy, and other systemic manifestations. There are difficulties in the diagnosis of KD due to its asynchronous clinical manifestations. With reference to the latest case reports and research advances in KD, this article summarizes the clinical details in the diagnosis of KD, so as to improve the level of clinical diagnosis of KD.
