Is the Kawasaki virus highly contagious?

 

It is a disorder that results in inflammation of the blood vessel walls in some body parts. It most frequently affects babies and young children. Kawasaki disease cannot be transmitted from one person to another since it is not contagious. Because of this, it's unlikely that a virus alone is to blame. Children of any age can develop the Kawasaki disease. High temperature and skin peeling are symptoms. In advanced stages, medium-sized blood vessels may become inflamed (vasculitis). Lymph nodes, skin, and mucous membranes, including those in the mouth, are also affected. Usually, Kawasaki disease is curable. Aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy are two initial treatments that are administered in a medical setting.
