Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) has replaced acute rheumatic fever as the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries and occurs in 9% of childhood vasculitis in our country (1). There are few studies concerning the characteristic features of Turkish children diagnosed with KD (1-4). We aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and potential risk factors for coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) in Turkish children diagnosed with KD.
