Is Kawasaki disease prone to recurrence?

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. Is it easy for Kawasaki disease to recur?

Doctor's answer:

Kawasaki disease generally does not easily relapse after remission. Kawasaki disease was first discovered by Dr. Kawasaki, and the disease was named after him. It primarily causes systemic vasculitis, with fever being the main symptom. After clinical remission, the disease generally does not relapse, but regular follow-up is required in the later stages to prevent relapse due to inappropriate lifestyle, fatigue, etc., which may lead to increased cardiovascular stress.
