Kawasaki disease shock syndrome or toxic shock syndrome in children and the relationship with COVID-19

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Most pediatric patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or show only mild symptoms. However, in the last two months, first in Europe and recently in the United States, a small number of children have developed a more severe inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19, which often leads to hospitalization and sometimes requires intensive care. A potential relationship was observed, especially between the occurrence of the Kawasaki disease and viral upper respiratory tract infections.
