What Is Kawasaki Disease?
4. 2nd Phase
The symptoms in the second phase, or the subacute stage, of Kawasaki disease can become somewhat more alarming as the patient’s skin will begin to peel away from their body. This will mostly happen on the extremities, and the skin will often peel away from the body in large, single sheets.
Other symptoms in the 2nd phase include abdominal pain and diarrhea. The patient may also experience aches and pains in their joints, and the condition may also cause them to vomit. Diarrhea and vomiting can cause the patient to lose a lot of fluids so they should also be monitored for signs of dehydration.
