Its regional focus is mainly Korea, but it also welcomes submissions from researchers and physicians all over the world. KD is concerned with the dissemination of knowledge on clinical, basic science and innovative methods related to Kawasaki disease or Kawasaki-like disease. The categories of manuscripts are original articles, reviews, editorials, case reports, other publications recognized by the Publications Committee. The journal is published twice a year on the official website https://www.e-kd.org.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been associated with the emergence of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which has features that overlap with Kawasaki disease - a childhood inflammatory vasculitis. Epidemiological, clinical, and immunological investigations suggest that SARS-CoV-2 acts as an additional infectious trigger for Kawasaki disease, leading to an exaggerated phenotype along the same disease spectrum. On the other hand, many epidemiological and clinical differences suggest that MIS-C is a distinct syndrome, despite ...

This comprehensive review aims to enhance the clinical management of cardiovascular complications associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) through a rigorous examination of existing literature. MIS-C frequently affects the cardiovascular system, resulting in a range of manifestations and degrees of severity. Ventricular dysfunction is the most prevalent symptom, while coronary arterial aneurysms are less common compared to Kawasaki disease. Conduction abnormalities are also widely observed, while life-threatening ar...

The renin-angiotensin system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis of the cardiovascular system, and there have been studies on its relevance to the onset of Kawasaki disease and coronary artery complications. However, there is still a lack of sufficient and consistent research data regarding the diagnosis and prognostication of Kawasaki disease using the genetic/serologic biomarkers associated with this system. The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers as therapeutic agents also lacks substa...

Antithrombotic Therapy in Kawasaki Disease
가와사키병에서의 항혈전요법

Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis and leads to a hypercoagulable state caused by marked elevation of the platelet count, platelet activation, and endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic therapy using intravenous immunoglobulin and aspirin is recommended as an initial treatment, although the debate on the efficacy and dosage of aspirin is still ongoing. Antithrombotic therapy is crucial in patients with coronary aneurysms because thrombosis is promoted in the acute and chronic phase of the disease ...

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a serious complication of COVID-19. Ferritin levels are used to assess severity and to predict the clinical course of various systemic inflammatory diseases that can cause cytokine storm. In this study, we investigated the clinical manifestations of patients with MIS-C and compared the characteristics of MIS-C with hyperferritinemia and MIS-C without hyperferritinemia. Methods: Medical records of 22 patients hospitalized with MIS-C from January 2020 to December 2022 were retro...
