Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is believed to be related to viral illness, especially viral respiratory tract infection.¹ Most pediatricians in Korea have known that the majority of KD cases usually occur in clusters, especially in winter and early spring. During the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic in Korea, however, pediatricians saw a magnificent decrease in the incidence of respiratory viral infections and several infection-related diseases.^2,3 In addition, the observation, i.e., the decrease of pediatric respiratory infections, was supported in the nationwide infectious disease surveillance.⁴
