Cardiovascular manifestations of Kawasaki disease in an Australian population.
Over a three-year period, 30 children were admitted to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, Sydney, with a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Of these, 26 children underwent echocardiography which demonstrated coronary artery aneurysms in five. Angiography was performed in one patient whose aneurysm did not resolve spontaneously. No patient suffered significant morbidity, and none died.
