· The etiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) is unclear, but its clinical, epidemiological, and pathophysiological characteristics are strongly associated with infectious diseases.
· In the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era, viruses are attracting the most attention. Sudden acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection causes various hyperinflammation in children that require differentiation from KD.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(4):572-576.   Published online April 15, 1996
Diffuse myalgia is common in transient systemic viral infections but overt myositis, with weakness and signs of muscle inflammation, rarely accompanies viral infection in chidren. We describe a 8-year-old boy with severe myalgia and tenderness in both lower extremities, whose unusual skeletal muscle uptake on Technetium-methylene diphosphate bone scan helped to diagnosis of myositis. Clinical course, muscle-derived enzyme studies(AST, ALT,...

Kew Keun Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(3):242-250.   Published online March 31, 1985
The authors evaluated serologic markers of Hepatitis B on 205 cases in families of HB marker positive 67 patients who were admitted to pediatric ward of St. Benedict Hospital from April, 1983 to April, 1984, to determine the intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus infection. The results were as follows; 1)Intrafamilial positive rate of HB marker was 52.7%. HB marker...

Ki Sub Chung, Jong Wie Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(12):1210-1217.   Published online December 31, 1982
The pediatric liver disease involves primarily viral infection of type A or type B. Presently the hepatitis incidences are on the rising trend in Korea, especially the type B viral hepatitis. It is estimated that approximately 4〜5% of the school children are HBsAg chronic carriers which are posing threat to citizens health status. We examined 264 patients admitted to Severance hospital at Yonsei medical...
