Kawasaki Disease: Rising Concern for Children's Health Kawasaki disease, often referred to as "Japanese measles in children," is an inflammatory condition affecting blood vessels, predominantly in children under five. Initial symptoms mimic the flu, including a persistent high fever exceeding five days. As the disease progresses, it causes vasculitis, which can lead to coronary artery aneurysms and sudden death. The cause remains unknown, and no vaccine is available. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation with aspirin and intravenous gamma globulin, with follow-up echocardiograms to monitor heart health. Early diagnosis and treatment within ten days are crucial to mitigate serious complications. #ArokaGONEWS #arokago #KawasakiDisease #kawasakidiseaseawareness read more... https://lnkd.in/gaRnUK46

Chronic bronchitis and emphysema constitute the diseases that make up Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). About 25 million people live with asthma as well. Occupational lung diseases, which include asbestosis and mesothelioma, also affect many Americans.
