Scarlet Fever and Kawasaki Disease can seem similar and are sometimes confused with each other.
But the main difference between the scarlet fever and Kawasaki Disease is that with scarlet fever, the desquamation tends to be diffuse and flaking, whereas with the Kawasaki disease it tends to be sheetlike.
And 6 Toxin mediated illnesses generally lack the articular involvement.
Full recovery from Kawasaki Disease takes around 6 weeks.
However you should notice improvements in the symptoms and recovery of Kawasaki Disease within 3 to 4 weeks.
If the Kawasaki Disease hasn't fully gone away within 6 to 7 weeks then take the child to the doctor for treatment.
Although rare some adults can get Kawasaki disease especially if it runs in the family.
Most commonly though Kawasaki Disease affects mostly children but adults are able to get the Kawasaki Disease as well.
You cannot catch Kawasaki Disease from your child or anyone else though because unlike other diseases the Kawasaki Disease is not contagious.
Kawasaki disease is not a contagious disease like some other diseases so since Kawasaki disease is not contagious an adult or anyone else near the child who has Kawasaki disease cannot catch it themselves.
So while adults can get Kawasaki disease you cannot catch the Kawasaki disease from your child or anyone else's child or anyone who has it.
The Kawasaki disease can be passed down through genes though through family so if someone else in your family had Kawasaki disease then the child may get it.
It's possible for adults to get Kawasaki disease but it's also very rare that they do.
The Kawasaki disease is most common in children and causes symptoms such as acute vasculitis, mucosal inflammation, rash, cervical adenopathy, hand and foot swelling, and late fingertip desquamation.
Most cases of Kawasaki disease are not very serious in otherwise healthy children and adults but if the child or adult has heart conditions or artery conditions then the Kawasaki disease can sometimes be fatal even with treatment.
