Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2018 -- Kawasaki disease, formerly known as the mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is a less commonly observed childhood disease that affects the blood vessels in children. This disease is a form of the condition known as vasculitis, which involves inflammation of the blood vessels. Kawasaki disease could lead to cardiovascular complications where it affects the coronary arteries carrying oxygenated blood to the heart. However, the frequency of cardiovascular complications has drastically reduced with the use of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) therapy. The causes of Kawasaki disease are not well understood; however, it is assumed that the body’s response to different pathogenic microorganisms and viruses combined with genetic factors lead to the development of Kawasaki disease symptoms. Common symptoms of Kawasaki disease include fever which lasts for more than five days, red eyes & lips, and redness on the palms and feet soles. Various guidelines have been developed by the regulatory authorities for the treatment of the disease. Infusion of gamma globulins through intravenous route and dosage of aspirin are the most common therapeutic medications used to relieve the symptoms.
Kawasaki disease is becoming one of the most frequent causes of pediatric acquired heart disease in most of the developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Germany, and France. Prevalence of the disease is high in developing countries such as Brazil, China, India, and Russia. Moreover, this disease mostly affects boys than girls, and occurs in children aged between two years and five years. Rapid rise in incidence of Kawasaki disease in the emerging countries is likely to drive demand for therapeutic drugs during the forecast period. Increase in adoption of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy to prevent or reduce the coronary artery problems is projected to drive the Kawasaki Disease Therapeutics Market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the underlining clinical trials using different drugs such as steroids and infliximab to treat the disease as the second line and tertiary treatment present significant opportunity in the near future.
