Özet

Objective: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile disease of the childhood characterized by vasculitis. The disease is thought to be due to the abnormal inflammatory response caused by various infectious agents in genetically predisposed individuals. It is known that the disease can be seen in all ethnic groups but it is more common in Asian populations. Although there is no recorded data on the incidence of KD in our country, it cannot be considered as a rare disease.
