Patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are predisposed to infections that trigger immune dysregulation due to an imbalance in various arms of the immune system. KD may develop as a complication in both primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. KD may occur either at disease presentation or have a later onset in IEIs. These include X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), selective IgA deficiency, transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy; Wiskott\u2013Aldrich syndrome (WAS), hyper IgE syndrome (HIES); chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), innate and intrinsic immunity defects, and autoinflammatory diseases, including PFAPA. Hitherto, the association between KD and IEI is confined to specific case reports and case series and, thus, requires extensive research for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. IEIs may serve as excellent disease models that would open new insights into the disease pathogenesis of children affected with KD. The current review highlights this critical association between KD and IEI supported by published literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13132151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]],"date-time":"2023-06-26T02:40:23Z","timestamp":1687747223000},"page":"2151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Kawasaki Disease and Inborn Errors of Immunity: Exploring the Link and Implications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Saniya","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pallavi","family":"Nadig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9015-1704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rakesh","family":"Pilania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9268-673X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaushal","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manpreet","family":"Dhaliwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5875-2892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amit","family":"Rawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surjit","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allergy Immunology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1084","DOI":"10.1136\/archdischild-2014-307536","article-title":"The epidemiology of Kawasaki disease: A global update","volume":"100","author":"Singh","year":"2015","journal-title":"Arch.
