Overview
Kawasaki disease (Kawasaki syndrome or KS) occurs worldwide, with the highest incidence in Japan, and it most often affects boys and younger children. KS may have a winter-spring seasonality, and community-wide outbreaks have been reported occasionally. In the continental United States, population-based and hospitalization studies have estimated an incidence of KS ranging from 9 to 19 per 100,000 children younger than 5 years of age. Approximately, 4248 hospitalizations for Kawasaki disease, of which 3277 (77%) were for children under 5 years of age, were estimated among children younger than 18 years of age in the United States in the year 2000.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Kawasaki disease is approximately 175 per 100,000 individuals in Japan.[1]
- In the continental United States, population-based and hospitalization studies estimate an incidence ranging from 9 to 19 per 100,000 children under 5 years of age.[2]
- Below is the list of the countries with the corresponding incidence rates of Kawasaki disease:
Prevalence
- In 1999, the prevalence of Kawasaki disease was estimated to be in range of 5000 to 6000 in Japan.[3]
Age
- Kawasaki disease commonly affects individuals younger than 5 years of age.[3]
- 80% of patients with Kawasaki disease are younger than 5 years of age
Race
- Kawasaki disease usually affects individuals of the Asian race.[3]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected by Kawasaki disease than females.[3]
