How is Kawasaki disease contracted?

Kawasaki disease is usually caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, infectious factors, immune factors, etc.

1. Genetic factors: If a direct relative has had Kawasaki disease, the individual’s probability of being infected with Kawasaki virus will be higher than that of an ordinary person.

2. Environmental factors: If you stay in a heavily polluted environment or an environment with chemical or physical stimulation for a long time, the risk of Kawasaki disease may increase. In addition, exposure to chemical toxins or smoking may also lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and increase the risk of Kawasaki disease.

3. Infection factors: Staphylococcus, mycoplasma, etc. may increase the incidence of Kawasaki disease. For example, the incidence of Kawasaki disease may increase after common colds, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis and other diseases.

4. Immune factors: Kawasaki disease is also considered an immune-mediated disease, and its pathogenesis is related to immune abnormalities. If the patient has an abnormal immune response, it may cause the occurrence of Kawasaki disease.

If children show symptoms suspected of Kawasaki disease, they should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, cooperate with the doctor's examination and treatment, and do not delay the disease.
