Abstract

Authors ́ conclusions: there is an association between antibiotic use and the development of Kawasaki disease over the next 12 months.

Reviewers ́ commentary: the use of antibiotics is associated with a slight higher risk of Kawasaki disease. The population studied, with a high incidence of disease and high exposure to antibiotics, could question the external validity and its applicability to other population groups. These findings reinforce the need for further research to identify the previously unknown underlying mechanisms of Kawasaki disease.
