i think that your question is what causes Kawasaki disease and the answer is that we haven’t been able to identify the cause or causes of it yet. It may be an allergic reaction or other unusual response to certain types of infections.

Recent studies suggest the disease may be caused by an inhaled pathogen that produces the same kind of targeted antigen-antibody reactions that characterize other infectious illnesses
