The role of superantigens of group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus in Kawasaki disease

27 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Since the first suggestion of a superantigen hypothesis for Kawasaki disease over a decade ago, debate on the aetiology remains inconclusive. This article reviews recent publications that address the role of superantigens of group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus in the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease. RECENT FINDINGS: Over the past few years, new superantigens produced by group A...
