Kawasaki disease
by Brenda__0, Feb 14, 1999 12:00AM
What is Kawasaki disease? How is it caused? is it reacurring or contagious? What age group does the disease affect? What specific race does the disease affect. Is there a cure? Does having this specific disease cause any short or long term effects? Does this disease cause any other illiness in the person after being afflicted?
