7人の典型的な川崎病の患者の血液からウイルスのDNAを高処理配列決定法で調べたところ、4人から、ポリオウイルス、麻疹ウイルス、ライノウイルス、ボカウイルスを検出した。
ポリオと麻疹はワクチン株で、それぞれ12日前と14日前にワクチンを接種していた。

In conclusion, we found that common respiratory viruses, such as enteroviruses, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, and coronaviruses, were associated with KD. Heterogeneous infectious etiologies may be responsible for KD in different countries as well as during different seasons.
Concurrent infections were diagnosed in 59 (38%) patients, of which 20 (34%) were viral and 39 (66%) bacterial. URTI was diagnosed in 19 (32%) children, caused by respiratory syncytial virus (n = 3), parainfluenza (n = 3), rhinovirus (n = 4), influenza (n = 2), enterovirus (n = 2) and adenovirus (n = 4). Three children had multiple viruses detected. Two (7%) children were diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis. Three (5%) children had a clinical and biological profile suggestive of acute CMV infection (positive IgM and negative IgG), and 2 (3%) of acute mycoplasma infection. Otitis media was diagnosed in 7 (12%) of patients, and pneumonia in 8 (14%) children. Group A streptococcus pharyngitis was diagnosed in 13 (22%). Four (7%) patients had bacterial adenitis, complicated by retropharyngeal pharyngitis in one child. One child was diagnosed with perforated appendicitis and underwent surgery, with pathology confirming the diagnosis. One child had Escherichia Coli pyelonephritis. Concomitant infection was proven by microbiologic testing and/or imaging in 48 (81%) of patients. Characteristics of patients with viral versus bacterial infections are described in Table 1.
