title: [Kawasaki disease: a new pediatric nosological entity].
abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a new, well characterized pediatric syndrome. In this work the last epidemiologic, diagnostic and clinical data are pointed. Especially the heart-disease and its monitoring and therapy are studied. Our casuistry (5 cases in 4 years) is also presented. The international literature and our clinical experience suggest that KD is more spread than we think and therefore in needs to be studied carefully by the pediatricians.
