Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of infants and children that is nowadays the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Transient sensorineural hearing loss (20 to 35 dB) is a possible complication of acute phase KD and may be related to salicylate toxicity in some patients.
