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 someone please tell me if Kawasaki disease is contagious?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, Kawasaki disease is absolutely not contagious to others. The current cause of Kawasaki disease has not been fully clarified. The treatment of Kawasaki disease primarily involves the use of intravenous immunoglobulin, as well as corticosteroids and anticoagulant drugs. Kawasaki disease mainly affects the coronary arteries, leading to coronary artery dilation or the formation of coronary aneurysms. This may result in the rupture of aneurysms and severe bleeding, so it is necessary to pay attention, rest well, and avoid strenuous exercise.
