摘要

Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by multisystem vasculitis, which may affect blood perfusion and cause inflammatory changes in the brain. This chapter aims to systematically review the research on KD psychology or psychological problems. A comprehensive search of studies published before April 5, 2021 was conducted on MEDLINE through the PubMed database to identify relevant articles. Both current clinical data and population-based cohorts indicate that patients with KD have no increased risk of mental/psychological sequelae, including intellectual disability, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or autism. The results indicate that KD seems to have no effect on developmental milestones or cognitive function later in life. However, caregivers of KD patients with coronary artery lesion (CAL) may be stressed that CAL can cause unpredictable sequelae to their children. Such caregivers may need support to perform their parenting duties. Future research is necessary to clarify the subtle effects of KD-related systemic vasculitis on the central nervous system.
