Introduction Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that primarily affects small- and medium-sized blood vessels. Coronary artery disease is the main cause of acquired heart disease in children (McCrindle et al, 2017). The disease usually affects children aged 6 months to 5 years old (Taddio et al, 2012). The diagnosis of KD is based on symptoms and signs, and no specific laboratory diagnostic criteria have been established for KD (Roh et al, 2020).
