Does Kawasaki disease affect life expectancy?

Kawasaki disease is a disease that troubles the lives of many babies, and many parents are troubled by this disease. Kawasaki disease is a hereditary disease that is congenital and the life expectancy of babies generally does not exceed five years. Kawasaki disease is named Kawasaki disease because it was discovered by a Japanese professor. Before the fetus is born, we must carefully do various examinations to avoid tragedies. So, will Kawasaki disease affect the life span of the fetus?

2. About 80,100 patients are under 5 years old. It is slightly more common in boys than in girls. Although cases of Kawasaki disease can be diagnosed at any time of the year, some seasonal variation may occur with increases in numbers occurring in late winter and spring. It is more common in children in Japan, but cases are popping up around the world.

3. However, the cause of Kawasaki disease is still unclear, but an infectious source is suspected. Hypersensitivity or disordered immune responses, possibly triggered by infectious agents (certain viruses or bacteria), may in turn lead to inflammatory processes leading to vascular damage in certain genetically susceptible individuals. It's not fatal.

The disease was discovered in 1967 by a Japanese pediatrician named Kawasaki. He knew of a group of children who had fever, rash, conjunctivitis, congestion of the throat and oral mucosa, hands and feet and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, initially called mucocutaneous lymphadenopathy syndrome. A few years later, heart complications such as coronary artery aneurysms (large dilated blood vessels) were reported. Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis, meaning there is inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels, which can cause the main coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart) to become aneurysms.
