What Is Kawasaki Disease?
5. 3rd Phase
The 3rd phase of Kawasaki disease is also known as the convalescent phase. In this phase, the patient’s symptoms will begin to gradually fade away. However, it can be two months before the patient’s energy levels have returned. It can also take this long before the patient’s blood tests have returned to normal.
A small number of patients with Kawasaki disease will have persistent heart problems and/or arthritis. The rate of recurrence is low, and mortality rates are up to around .02%. While the condition is treatable, however, it is recommended to get treatment as soon as possible to increase the chances of the patient making a full recovery.
