Kawasaki disease is an acute multisystem vas­culitic syndrome of unknown etiology occur­ring mostly in infants and children younger than 5 years of age especial in Asia countries. In developed countries, Kawasaki disease is currently the leading cause of acquired heart diseases in children.

In this chapter, we review and summarize the history, epidemiology, infection, genetics, and immune response of this disease.
