Purpose : Epidemiologic evidence suggests an infectious cause for Kawasaki disease(KD), but the etiology of KD remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether viral infections are related in the pathogenesis of KD by detecting viral genomes using nested polymerase chain reaction. Methods : Peripheral blood was obtained from 18 acute KD patients before administration of intravenous gamma...
