Kawasaki disease in Sweden has an incidence of 6.2 per 100,000 in children under 5 years, with a high rate of cardiac involvement emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment.
Schiller et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Kawasaki disease (n=99). i.v. immunoglobulin and aspirin was evaluated on Incidence, clinical pattern, and treatment outcome. In a Swedish national prospective study of 99 children with Kawasaki disease, the annual incidence was 2.9 per 100,000 children <16 years, and 33% had cardiac abnormalities on ultrasonography.
