Abstract

Kawasaki syndrome or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS) is an acute, febrile, systemic illness characterized by inflammation (necrotizing vasculitis) of the small and medium-sized arteries. In addition, systemic inflammation is present in many organs. The cause is unknown; an infectious origin is suspected, favored by a hereditary basis.
