Abstract
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the first description of Kawasaki disease. The disease has emerged as an important cause of acquired heart disease in children. The cause of Kawasaki disease remains unknown and this presents many problems in the diagnosis and management of the disease. This paper reviews recent publications on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and the short- and long-term management of Kawasaki disease.Keywords
