Overview

Kawasaki disease (Kawasaki syndrome or KS) occurs worldwide, with the highest incidence in Japan, and it most often affects boys and younger children. KS may have a winter-spring seasonality, and community-wide outbreaks have been reported occasionally. In the continental United States, population-based and hospitalization studies have estimated an incidence of KS ranging from 9 to 19 per 100,000 children younger than 5 years of age. Approximately, 4248 hospitalizations for Kawasaki disease, of which 3277 (77%) were for children under 5 years of age, were estimated among children younger than 18 years of age in the United States in the year 2000.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of Kawasaki disease is approximately 175 per 100,000 individuals in Japan.[1]
  • In the continental United States, population-based and hospitalization studies estimate an incidence ranging from 9 to 19 per 100,000 children under 5 years of age.

Age

  • Kawasaki disease commonly affects individuals younger than 5 years of age.[2]
  • 80% of patients with Kawasaki disease are younger than 5 years of age

Race

  • Kawasaki disease usually affects individuals of the Asian race.[2]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected by Kawasaki disease than females.[2]
