The cause of Kawasaki disease is not fully understood. The symptoms of the disease are characteristic of a virus. However, Kawasaki disease is not contagious, which means it is unlikely to be caused by a virus alone.
Some research suggests that Kawasaki disease is caused by an unusual, or abnormal, reaction to a common virus, that most people are unaffected by. Other theories suggest that it could be an autoimmune disorder (when the body's immune system attacks its own tissue), or a reaction to chemicals or pollutants. However, no theory has yet to be conclusively proven.
