Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what specific symptoms are associated with Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
It is an acute disease that occurs in early childhood. This disease was first reported by Japanese pediatrician Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1967, hence it is named Kawasaki disease, also known as Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome (MCLS). Clinically, it is characterized by symptoms such as fever, rash, non-purulent cervical lymphadenopathy, conjunctival congestion, diffuse oral mucosal hyperemia, strawberry tongue, palmar and plantar erythema, and hard edema of the hands and feet.
