Abstract
The etiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) and its precise genetic basics remain unknown. Genetic variants affecting immunity have been found in some patients. The occurrence of KD in siblings is rare, but KD pedigrees with multiple affected members have been described in Japan and North America. Cases in twins have been documented. We report 2 pairs of trizygotic triplets who developed KD associated with SARS-CoV2 infection from 2 different families. Our cases show that KD is multifactorial in origin, and both infectious etiology (particularly SARS-CoV2 as in our cases) and genetic factors are relevant in the disease.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology is a peer-reviewed journal designed to promote understanding and advance the treatment of respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases in children. The Journal delivers original translational, clinical, and epidemiologic research on the most common chronic illnesses of children—asthma and allergies—as well as many less common and rare diseases. It emphasizes the developmental implications of the morphological, physiological, pharmacological, and sociological components of these problems, as well as the impact of disease processes on families.
Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology coverage includes:
-Functional and genetic immune deficiencies-
Interstitial lung diseases-
Both common and rare respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases-
Patient care-
Patient education research-
Public health policy-
International health studies
