Abstract
Objective: This bibliographic review sought to establish an association between Kawasaki's disease and Covid-19 in children through the best scientific evidence to date on the subject. Literature review: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited and multisystemic vasculitis, which can affect several organs, with cardiac involvement being the most significant. It is also the most common cause of heart disease acquired in children in developed countries. Recently, reports have described an association, in agreement with basic literature, between DK and COVID-19 hyperinflammatory response with multisystemic involvement, but with a higher average age compared to classic DK. Since the diagnostic criteria for KD do not close, some authors have suggested the Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (SIM-C) as the most likely in association with Covid-19. Final considerations: It is understood, therefore, that there is a need for a longer period of epidemiological observation of Covid-19 in order to establish an association between it and Kawasaki's disease.
