Abstract:
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery lesions (CAL), and become the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children.In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the role of platelets in the development of KD and its cardiovascular complications.Platelet activation is closely associated with thrombus formation and immune-inflammatory responses.In this review, the latest literature is examined to investigate the role of platelets in the occurrence of KD and CAL.
