Purpose : The etiology of the Kawasaki disease remains unclear, many strong clinical and
epidemiologic characteristics suggest an infectious etiology. However, conventional bacterial and

we studied the Epstein Barr virus(EBV), one of the most important pathogens, to access the
association between the EBV and Kawasaki disease.
Methods : Seventy-two patients with... |
