Epidemiology of Kawasaki Disease in Canada 2004 to 2014: Comparison of Surveillance Using Administrative Data vs Periodic Medical Record Review.

TL;DR: The incidence of Kawasaki disease in Canada seems to have plateaued for younger children and increased in both older age categories, while differences in annual incidence observed between provinces remain to be explained, and might reflect genetic or environmental differences.

TL;DR: In an exploratory comparison between the primary KD cluster and reference groups of varying spatial and temporal origin, the main cluster demonstrated higher frequencies of conjunctivitis, oral mucosa changes and treatment with antibiotics, suggesting a possible coincident infectious process.

TL;DR: Wastewater sequencing is highly efficient, detecting more variants for a given sampling effort than with semi-random clinical swab sampling, and shows the potential for wastewater sequencing to provide useful public health data, especially at places or times when sufficient clinical sampling is infrequent or infeasible.

TL;DR: A proposed etiologic framework for Kawasaki disease incorporates the proportion of population that are genetically susceptible; modulation of risk, determined by habitual exposure to environmental allergens, seasonal variations of atmospheric biological particles and contact with infectious diseases; and exposure to the putative trigger.
