A member asked:
What to do if i had kwaski disease when i was a kid, will that cause me to have heart problems as an adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It is generally recommended that children diagnosed with Kawasaki syndrome have follow up echocardiograms to evaluate for coronary artery aneurysms. If no aneurysms were found within the year following the original illness, long term complications as an adult would be unlikely.
