Patient's question:
Your child had Kawasaki disease three years ago. After recovering two months later, they have noticed that the conjunctiva of their eyes has been in a state of inflammation. Their hands uncontrollably perform certain movements, and their abdomen experiences significant tremors. They have been in constant pain. Doctor, is this a of Kawasaki disease? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki patients have sequelae. Except for the medication treatment using globulin (autoimmune globulin), the recurrence rate of cardiac sequelae has already dropped below 5%. From this, it can be understood that the incidence of new cardiac sequelae in Kawasaki disease has also significantly increased. However, it cannot be definitively said that there is no possibility of residual cardiac sequelae in current elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students who have previously had Kawasaki disease.
