Kawasaki disease (KD, typical/atypical/partial) admissions (n = 644) were surveyed from 2017 to 2020 and compared to urinary tract infection (UTI) admissions and COVID-19 in 2020. KD admissions decreased by 27% and median KD age decreased in 2020, whereas UTI admissions remained steady. KD admissions showed a seasonality with a peak in April and nadir in February-March. All KD/KD-related pediatric intensive care unit cases tested negative for COVID-19, and no multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children was found.
