    Kawasaki Disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in the UK

    Kawasaki disease is a rare condition that mainly affects children under the age of five.
    The characteristic symptoms are a high temperature that lasts for more than five days, with:
    a rash
    swollen glands in the neck
    dry, cracked lips
    red fingers or toes
    red eyes

    The symptoms of Kawasaki Disease can be similar to those of other conditions that cause a fever in children.

    Kawasaki disease CAN'T be prevented
    However, most children make a full recovery within six to eight weeks if it's diagnosed and treated promptly.

    It's thought Kawasaki disease is caused by an infection, although the exact cause isn't fully understood.

    Kawasaki disease is usually treated in hospital as it can sometimes lead to serious complications.
    It's best if treatment begins as soon as possible, ideally within 10 days of the symptoms starting. The sooner treatment starts, the quicker the recovery time and the less risk there is of complications developing.
    Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a solution of antibodies, and aspirin are the two main medicines used to treat Kawasaki disease.

    Kawasaki disease causes the blood vessels to become inflamed and swollen, which can lead to complications in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart (coronary arteries).
