Is enhanced fetal growth a risk factor for the development of atopy or asthma?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, systemic vasculitis in children, with an etiology that is not completely understood. It is assumed that the development of KD is mediated by an immunologic response. Several reports from East Asia have found a higher prevalence of atopic diseases among patients with KD, but...
