Exposures associated with the onset of Kawasaki disease in infancy from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study

Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that mainly affects infants and young children. The etiology of KD has been discussed for several decades; however, no reproducible risk factors have yet been proven. We used the Japan Environment and Children’s Study data to explore the...
