of providers of National Health Service-funded care to emphasise the high risk and
atypical presentation of coronary artery aneurysms, coronary thrombosis and myocardial
ischaemia or infarction in patients with Kawasaki disease, and to highlight the importance
of specialist advice.</p><p>Guidance is also available from the National Institute
for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) on the assessment and initial management of
fever in children under five, and this guidance includes recommendations on recognising
the symptoms of Kawasaki disease.</p><p>NICE’s clinical guidelines help healthcare
professionals deliver the best possible care based on the best available evidence;
the guidelines are not mandatory, although health and care commissioners are expected
to take them fully into account.</p>
