Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The exact pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease is not fully understood.
Genetics
In independent cohort studies the genes which are suspected in susceptibility to Kawasaki disease with replication are:[1]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FCGR2A | 1q23 | GWAS | European descent, Taiwanese, Koreans, Han Chinese | Low-affinity receptor for Fc fragment of IgG; risk allele has lower binding affinity | Khor et al[2]2011 |

Associated Conditions
- Inflammation of the coronary arteries lead to most important clinical outcomes.
- Kawasaki disease is defined by the systemic inflammation of the medium sized arteries and in multiple organs and tissues.
- The systemic inflammation of the medium sized arteries organs and tissues can lead to the following associated conditions:[8][9]
| Organ and Tissue | Associated conditions |
|---|---|
| Liver | Hepatitis |
| Lung | Interstitial pneumonitis |
| Gastrointestinal tract | Abdominal pain
Gallbladder hydrops |
| Meninges | Aseptic meningitis |
| Heart | Myocarditis |
| Urinary tract | Pyuria |
| Pancreas | Pancreatitis |
| Lymph nodes | Lymphadenopathy |
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, large or giant coronary artery aneurysms, thrombi containing aneurysms, decreases luminal diamieter, stenosis of the lumen and chronic inflamation are the usual findings of Kawasaki disease.[1]
- The Kawasaki disease mainly involved the muscular arteries and is characterized by the following processes:
- Necrotizing arteritis
- Subacute vasculitis
- Chronic Vasculitis
- Luminal myofibroblastic proliferation
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis of autopsied cases of Kawasaki disease, intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies are frequently observed in ciliated bronchial epithelial cells.[10]
