Extract

In about 1967, a new clinical entity in infants and children was described in Japan. It was an acute febrile illness associated with engorgement of the conjunctivas, labial erythema, and swelling of the deep cervical lymph nodes without suppuration. This disease is usually called the acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome or, more simply, Kawasaki disease.
