This undated handout photograph provided by the Japan Kawasaki Disease Reasearch Center and received via Jiji Press on June 10, 2020, shows a portrait of Japanese pediatrician Tomisaku Kawasaki at an undisclosed location in Japan. AFP PHOTO/JAPAN KAWASAKI DISEASE RESEARCH CENTER vis JIJI PRESS– recently in the headlines for some similarities to coronavirus – has died of natural causes aged 95, his research NGO said Wednesday, June 10.
Pediatrician Tomisaku Kawasaki first noticed the disease in the 1960s as a junior doctor when he began treating children with fever, red eyes and a rash with no clear cause. He reported 50 cases as an unknown disorder in 1967, since when the condition – which mostly affects very young children – has become internationally recognized as"Kawasaki disease."
Symptoms can include swelling of the hands and feet, swollen lymph glands in the neck and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips, and throat, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease"occurs worldwide, with the highest incidence in Japan, and it most often affects boys and younger children," the CDC said.
