Incidence of Kawasaki Disease

So, in Malaysia, in our Kawasaki Disease Registry, we had a total of 580 patients,

and our incidence as a nation was 4.23 cases per 100 000 children under 5 years old
in 2011. If we include regional incidence, the highest incidence was around Kuala

Lumpur area, and the incidence rate was around 31.10 cases per 100 000 children
under 5 years old in 2013. This is comparable to Thailand and the United Kingdom.

When you look at Japan, they do a 2-yearly nationwide survey, and in 2015 and
2016, their incidences were about 300 over cases of Kawasaki Disease per 100 000
children under 5 years old. Kawasaki Disease is very common in Japan, South

Korea and Taiwan.
