Kawasaki disease with tsutsugamushi disease: two case reports.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Absent arterial valve leaflets are rare anomalies. On the basis of our understanding of the normal development of the arterial valves, we draw inferences that might offer clues to their morphogenesis. METHODS:We describe the findings from four human fetal autopsies with so-called "absent" arterial valvar le...
