Detailed explanation-3: -Clinical signs include fever, rash, swelling of the hands and feet, irritation and redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips, and throat. Kawasaki disease primarily affects children younger than 5 years of age.
