More kids fall ill to mysterious Kawasaki-like disease as officials test for coronavirus
Kawasaki disease is one of the great mysteries in pediatrics, said Dr. Frank Esper, a physician at the Cleveland Clinic Childrens Center for Pediatric Infectious Diseases. While doctors know how to treat Kawasaki disease, they still dont know what causes it or why some people get it. He also says experts aren't even sure if the mystery disease popping up in parts of Europe and the U.S. can be definitively identified as Kawasaki disease. "I will caution that there are many things that look similar to Kawasaki disease," Esper said. "It could be that what theyre calling Kawasaki is not Kawasaki but an inflammatory disease caused by the coronavirus."
