Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as Kawasaki syndrome, is an acute febrile illness of unknown cause that primarily affects children younger than 5 years of age. The symptoms of Kawasaki disease are similar to those of an infection, so bacteria or a virus may be responsible. But so far a bacterial or viral cause hasn't been identified. As Kawasaki disease isn't contagious, it can't be passed from one person to another. Aim: 1. To know general idea about the condition of the disease. Objective: 1. Exploring knowledge of pharmacology, management of medicine and nursing. Result: Patient was discharge and he has to come for follow up after 15 days. Conclusion: Kawasaki disease can affect children and teenagers of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. In most cases, children will recover within a few days of treatment without any serious problems. Recurrences are uncommon. If left untreated, Kawasaki disease can lead to serious heart disease. Kawasaki disease has a positive outcome when diagnosed and treated early.
