Abstract
Since 1967, researches have hunted for an etiology for Kawasaki Disease (KD). Meanwhile, the 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has produced a strange new illness termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and raised hopes that a cause for KD may be identified. This current review paper discusses KD and its potential connection to pediatric COVID-19 and MIS-C illness.
Keywords: COVID-19; Kawasaki disease; Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C); Pediatric cardiology; Pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PMIS).
