@Lord_Sugar The year I was born well done for all you have achieved

[neeta patel @n33t4]

Can you stop belittling me please and if you want to have your two pence worth do it to some one else and not me

[neeta patel @n33t4]

Can the medical community please stop referring to #KawasakiDisease as #PIMS and just ask a parent who watched there child go through severe #KawasakiDisease and then face the long term heart damage and constant followup. Not all KD cases present the same and some are more severe

[neeta patel @n33t4]

No I’m a parent who watched her child go through a serious illness called Kawasaki Disease where 5 medical doctors failed to diagnose which led to permanent heart damage when my son was 8 years old. I have spent 4 years researching and raising awareness to KD

[neeta patel @n33t4]

@Love_AndAnger No the fact you used the work layman says it all really

[neeta patel @n33t4]

@Love_AndAnger Apologies just a parent so language may not be correct but I refer to the medical experts such as doctors and medical specialists :)

@doctorsanjay Hugely value your measured and considered perspective here. Such worry has been caused in our community by unthinking “reports”, with confused content.

We welcome also the RCPCH position on this - thank you @RCPCHtweets @RCPCHPresident #Kawasaki_Disease

@AnnBlake2017 KD is not contagious and is more common that some strains of meningitis and is not rare either. I think there is an increase in cases as KD tends to spike in the spring. I’m not a doctor but a parent of a child who had KD 4 years ago and constantly research.

[neeta patel @n33t4]

@piersmorgan @piersmorgan Kawasaki Disease is the No 1 cause to ACQUIRED heart disease in children in the U.K. and numbers have increased four fold in the last 10 years. KD is nothing new it’s not rare either and this is a case of Doctors thinking KD is rare and now they are looking for it

[neeta patel @n33t4]

@Patrick66013298 @Rebartic I’m a parent of a child who had KD and have researched endless on KD for four year. Everything I have read states that KD is not an autoimmune disease as it has a beginning and an end. Heart damage can be a result of misdiagnosis caused.

[neeta patel @n33t4]

@HSJEditor From the offset of Covid 19 being referred to as a mystery illness blowing in the wind I thought of Kawasaki Disease straight away. My son had this 4 yrs ago and acquired heart disease. It’s no joke KD and is serious!!!
