Enterovirus Infection and Subsequent Risk of Kawasaki Disease: A Population-based Cohort Study

Abstract: There is a higher association between KD and previous EV infection in Taiwanese children, especially in those 3-5 years old, with female sex, with less urbanization level, with low-income parental occupation, and with allergy.

“…The presence of a RPI has also been described in the literature. 5,6,11 Weng et al conducted a population-based study where they followed up 285 636 children with infection by enterovirus and 285 636 children without this infection, and found that the incidence of KD was 54% greater in the infected group compared to the group without infection. 5 The clinical manifestations of many of the most frequent infections in the paediatric population overlap the clinical features used to define KD, which complicates its diagnosis.…”

“…3,4 Although the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings and epidemiological characteristics of the disease suggest an infectious trigger, the causative agent has yet to be identified. 5,6 A few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on KD have been published that identified several plausible candidate loci involved in inflammation, the immune response and cardiovascular abnormalities. 2,7,8 Thus, a reasonably broad hypothesis is that KD is caused by an infectious agent yet to be identified that only causes disease in individuals with a genetic predisposition.…”

“…La presencia de una IPR es también manifiesta en la literatura 5,6,11 . Weng et al realizan un estudio de base poblacional en el que siguen a 285.636 niños con infección por enterovirus y a 285.636 niños sin dicha infección, y encontraron en el grupo de niños expuestos una incidencia de EK un 54% mayor que en el grupo de no expuestos 5 .…”

“…Si analizamos la presencia de infecciones simultáneas, en la literatura hay multitud de estudios que han señalado varios virus como desencadenantes de EK, incluyendo virus coxsackie, parainfluenza, virus respiratorio sincitial, metapneumovirus, chikungunya, citomegalovirus y enterovirus, entre otros 5,6,11 . Algunos estudios describen que hasta la mitad de los casos de EK tienen uno o más virus respiratorios positivos detectados por PCR, si bien su papel patogénico no está claro 11 .…”
