Kawasaki disease (KD) is an important cause of childhood vasculitis and a common cause of acquired heart disease in children world-wide. The emergence of Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome-Temporally Associated with SARS-CoV-2, a KD-like hyperinflammatory syndrome and the recent death of Dr Tomisaku Kawasaki make this a timely review.
