TLDR
A clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease in the UK based on the best available evidence to date is proposed, and areas of practice where evidence is anecdotal or based on retrospective data are highlighted.Abstract:
This article proposes a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease in the UK based on the best available evidence to date, and highlights areas of practice where evidence is anecdotal or based on retrospective data. Future research as proposed by the London Kawasaki Disease Research Group is outlined, and clinicians are invited to prospectively enrol their suspected cases into this collaborative research project.read more

TL;DR: A 5 year old child who presented to the hospital with conjunctival congestion, lymphadenopathy and fever responded to the treatment remarkably and promptly thus evading any fatal complication.

TL;DR: Examination of morphological, immunological, and functional characteristics of MPs derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated by TNF provides evidence that endothelial-derived MPs are detectable in normal human blood and are increased in patients with a coagulation abnormality characterized by the presence of lupus anticoagulant.

The prevention of coronary artery aneurysm in Kawasaki disease: a meta-analysis on the efficacy of aspirin and immunoglobulin treatment.
TL;DR: The incidence of CAA both at 30 and 60 days was significantly lower in low-IVig than in ASA and in high-IVIG than in low -IVIG groups, but this was noted at 30 days and not at 60 days.

Kawasaki Disease: Effect of Treatment on Coronary Artery Involvement
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the steroid might act adversely to cause a progression of coronary lesions of the disease, and aspirin might act as the effective means for prevention of sudden death due to Kawasaki disease.
