Long term impacts

This is the first UK study to retrospectively review and characterise the angiographic prevalence of Kawasaki Disease.  In doing so, both aneurysm and ectasia were observed with a relatively low frequency. However, their presence is associated with high-risk acute ischaemic presentations. A poor level of reporting of coronary abnormalities is reported and the authors advocate […]

The prevalence of myopia has rapidly increased in recent decades and has led to a considerable global public health concern.

Aberrant immune responses are considered to play key roles in KD initiation and breastfeeding can mature immune system in infants. We examined the association between breastfeeding and the development of KD.
