Environnement et climat au cœur de la recherche de l’étiologie de la maladie de Kawasaki
A disease is defined as rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Kawasaki disease is a rare disease. It is the leading cause of heart disease affecting young children in developed countries. Understanding how this disease is triggered is crucial to anticipate epidemic times and alert doctors. Since the 60’s, the number of cases has been increasing around the world and despite intensive researches, its etiology remains unknown. Recent findings suggest that the trigger of the disease may be an environmental component. Several hypotheses exist regarding the nature of this etiological element, ranging from a desert aerosol, to a pollenor or even a microscopic mushroom. Common climatic variables such as air temperatures, precipitations or wind are also significantly related to the variability of the disease. They are supposed to play, respectively, a role of catalyst and vector of the etiological agent so sought. This work is an opportunity to present a summary of the main results obtained since the 80’s, as well as ongoing research on this topic at the environment-climate-human health interfaces..
