Abstract
Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis disease that commonly affects children under the age of 5. Its pathogenesis essentially involves a pathological process driven by both infectious factors and immune abnormalities, and it has a core pathological association with infectious immune diseases. This article will analyze the interaction between the two in active medicine from four aspects: their core relationship, supporting mechanism, convergence points, and mutual promotion value. From the perspective of active medicine, this association provides a key target for disease prevention and control. KD is a typical manifestation of the pathological mechanism of infectious immune diseases, and active medicine, by targeting infection prevention, immune regulation, and early intervention, has constructed a full-chain prevention system from risk warning to complication prevention, providing an important paradigm for the clinical management of such immune-mediated diseases. The study concludes that in the active medical system, Kawasaki disease and infection-related immune disorders have a deep binding relationship of "typical subtypes and broad categories, benchmark practices and general theories", and also a classic clinical paradigm of "theory guiding practice and practice feeding back to theory".
