How is Kawasaki disease checked?

Patient's question:

The child has already started having a fever about a week ago. During this week, they have visited many hospitals and undergone several detailed examinations, but none have identified the exact cause of the fever. I would like to ask, how is Kawasaki disease examined? Could it be that the child has Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

Kawasaki disease needs to be demonstrated based on the patient's condition, and then the results of careful examination should be integrated to make predictions. It is necessary to observe how the symptoms align. In terms of examination, blood tests for complete blood count are required, as well as electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram. The condition needs to be integrated with symptoms, such as fever duration, strawberry tongue, rash location, and whether there is conjunctival hyperemia in both eyes, etc.
