Patient's question:
The baby is now 1 year old and has had a fever recently. The doctor highly suspects Kawasaki disease, but it needs to be at least five days to diagnose. Do you have to have a fever for five days to confirm Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
After a fever (about 1-4 days), occasional rashes or erythematous rashes may appear on the trunk, but it takes about a week for the herpes or scabies to subside. Other symptoms often occur in patients with cardiac damage, myocarditis, pericarditis, and endocarditis, and tachycardia, galloping rhythm, and dull systolic murmurs can be heard during pulse acceleration auscultation. In the early stages of 10 days, there is a cherry-red tongue, hard edema on the hands and feet, swelling of the palms and soles, and skin at the junction of the nail beds.
