10 Symptoms of Kawasaki Disease

Vasculitis

Vasculitis is a condition that causes the blood vessels to inflame. This leads to the thickening of the blood vessels’ walls, which narrows the passageway in the vessel. Tissue and organ damage may happen as a result of reduced blood flow. People with Kawasaki disease may have vasculitis as a symptom. There are many forms of vasculitis, but most of them are quite rare. The condition would affect one or more organs in the body. The effects can be long-lasting or short-term. Some age groups can be at a higher risk than others. Fortunately, some medications and treatment options are available to control the symptoms and prevent flare-ups. [2]
