There is currently a research
study looking at Kawasaki disease based in Australia
and involving many countries around the world. This
study is being coordinated from Perth but involves
families from all over Australia. The study is
looking at what makes children who develop Kawasaki
disease different, to try to understand what causes
the condition in the first place. It is the largest
study of its type in the world and hopefully will
lead to better diagnosis, treatment and ultimately
preventative measures, such as vaccines, for
Kawasaki disease. For further information of this
exciting research follow this link.
