A member asked:

Can my heartburn be caused by my kawasaki disease as a child?

Dr. Robert Lowe answered

Specializes in Pediatric Rheumatology

No: Kawasaki disease is a type of autoimmune vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) affecting children almost exclusively that can have long term effects on the heart (coronary artery aneurysms) if not treated appropriately and promptly but heartburn, or gastroesophogeal reflux (GERD), is not one of them.
