川崎病, 川崎综合征
an illness that mainly affects children and causes fever, redness and swelling of the hands and feet, rash, and sometimes damage to the heart's blood vessels
Kawasaki disease is a condition that mainly affects children under the age of five. It causes inflammation in the blood vessels throughout the body, particularly the coronary arteries, which carry blood to the heart muscle. Symptoms of Kawasaki disease can include high fever, rash, red eyes, swollen glands, and swelling of the hands and feet. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications which can increase the risk of heart problems. Treatment typically involves taking medications such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin to reduce inflammation and prevent complications.
