Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that primarily affects children under the age of 5. Coronary artery lesions are the most common complication of KD and can have a lifelong impact on affected children. This Special Issue aims to explore research perspectives on the clinical management of KD. Submissions are welcome on any aspect of clinical management beyond the standard treatment of high-dose IVIG and aspirin, including research articles, review articles, and case reports.
