The coronary vessel affection rate was 33% and the highest one was revealed in infants — 83%. The symptoms and laboratory manifestations of KD are analyzed. The characteristics of the incomplete KD diagnosis are presented. The prevalence of KD in Kyiv in 2016 is calculated to be 4.6 per 100,000 children under 5 years of age and the expected prevalence of KD in Ukraine in 2016 — 103 cases.
