Abstract
We assessed the association between maternal autoimmune disorders and offspring risk of Kawasaki disease in a longitudinal cohort of 792 108 newborns. We found that maternal autoimmune disorders, especially autoimmune thyroiditis, may be risk factors for Kawasaki disease in children, particularly young children.
