My nephew had Kawasaki when he was about a year and a half d. Nearly died. His grandfather was an excellent pediatrician at Sibley hospital and knew what he had but it was beyond his control. He walked with his grandson in his arms for 12 hours straight. We were all very scared. He is in his thirties now. They thought it was related to carpet cleaning products in the 1980s.
I have a friend that had it as a child.
He is about 40 years old now and probably won’t live another couple years judging by the way he has changed in the last couple of years. Lots of complications they blame on the disease.
An important health story about a dangerous condition deserves better than this hacktastic J-school cold open.
The art of writing is being killed off by those ostensibly paid to preserve it.
RIP.
Does that count?

It acts like the flu in the adult, to the unborn it is deadly. My son lived 33 days never left the hospital. His dad brought it back from Nam passed it to me. It’s in the infectious hand disease book, but he was never isolated. We are talking 44 yrs ago. It still exist. No treatment, no cure. Never will be, it’s to rare to invest Big Pharma’s money in a rare disease.
