What is atypical Kawasaki disease?

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 atypical Kawasaki disease is?

Doctor's answer:

Kawasaki disease is a vasculitis. Typical symptoms include acute fever and a rash. It generally occurs in individuals under 18 years old, with more boys than girls affected. Symptoms may include fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and strawberry tongue. Treatment primarily involves oral gamma globulin. In fact, the prognosis for this disease is quite good. Regular check-ups can control it. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
