Objective. Kawasaki disease (KD) is supposed to be more common in the Asian race. The incidence in Japan is 10-fold higher than rates reported from western countries. This study sought to evaluate the epidemiologic picture of KD in Beijing and its suburbs.Method. A questionnaire form and diagnostic guidelines for KD were sent to all hospitals with pediatric inpatient beds throughout Beijing and its suburbs. Pediatricians were asked to review the medical records and report all patients with KD diagnosed during the 5-year period from January, 1995, through December, 1999.Results. A total of 710 patients with KD were reported from 37 (95%) of 39 hospitals with pediatric inpatient beds. The incidences of KD for each year of the study were 18.2 (1995), 21.1 (1996), 18.6 (1997), 30.6 (1998) and 27.8 (1999) per 100 000 children
