my nephew, who is 2 years old, was diagnosed with kawasaki syndrome. he was in icu for a week, and i was wondering if anyone whose child was affected with this syndrome had just had their carpets professionally cleaned right before the affliction? please reply here, if so.

    in reply to your comment: my 4 year old daughter displayed all the symptoms of KD back in August.Unfortunately, we were on holiday in Europe at the time, she very quickly and progressively deteriorated so we had to call a local pediatrician who was very puzzled by her condition but nonetheless dismissed it as a possible allergic reaction.By the end of our holiday most of the symptoms had subsided but I still took her to a pediatrician on our arrival home.The consultant told us that it was a possible contact allergy.Allergy tests showed absolutely nothing although it is impossible to establish as we were on holiday and allergens can vary from country to country.To cut a long story short:the possibilities of my daughter having suffered from KD are only being discussed now (8 months later) and in reply to your comment I can say that the apartment we stayed in had just been painted and all mattresses and upholstery recently sprayed with some kind of insect/mite reppellent.

    we moved house and had a full carpet cleaning AFTER my son was diagnosed with KD and during his 1yr aspirin course.

    A friend who's son also had KD is convinced that badly washed fruits/veggies.

    I don't know, to be honest. I did a lot of research and spoken to many chardiologists and they also don't seem to have an answer.

    What I know is that in my family there are a few immunologic deseases. My sister has Lupus and my 2 uncles (my father's brothers) also have a serious immunologic desease and diabetes, respectively.

    I think that a child with such DNA as mine if exposed to a flu or other sort of virus in a time in life when he's particularly weak can develop KD.
