Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence rate
and epidemiologic patterns of Kawasaki disease in Korea for the
3-year-period, 2003–2005.
Methods: The questionnaire for an epidemiologic survey on Kawasaki
disease was distributed to all 102 Korean hospitals that
conduct pediatric residency programs, and obtained data were analyzed
upon receipt.
Results: The 9662 patients of Kawasaki disease from 85 hospitals
that responded (response rate, 83.3%) consisted of 5877 males and
3785 females (male:female ratio, 1.55:1). The incidence rate per
100,000 children 5-year-old was 104.2 in 2003, 106.4 in 2004, and
104.6 in 2005 (average rate, 105.0). Their mean age of onset was
33.3 months, and the proportions of sibling cases and recurrent cases
were 0.29% and 2.0%, respectively. Coronary arterial abnormalities
were detected at follow-up by echocardiogram in 18.8% of all such
cases including dilatations of 18.0% and aneurysms of 2.5%.
Conclusion: The average annual rate of incidence, 105.0/100,000 in
children 5-year-old is the second highest reported rate in the
world.
