Although today little is known about the etiology of KD, the most accepted hypothesis is that of a probable viral etiology, therefore, even the SARS-CoV-2 virus could trigger, in genetically predisposed subjects, an exaggerated inflammatory response that is clinically evident like the one described in KD. In this context the scientific community is wondering about a possible correlation between SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and the onset of Kawasaki-like diseases. They suggest that this clinical picture represents a new phenomenon that affects previously asymptomatic children with SARS-CoV-2 infection manifesting itself as a hyperinflammatory multi-organ involvement syndrome similar to a shock syndrome in KD [8] .
