Özet

Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic vasculitis that has no specific serum marker. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the serum lipid profile, specifically HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) level, in KD differs from that in other febrile illnesses and if so, it can be used as a diagnostic tool in distinguishing KD from other febrile illnesses.
