川崎病の症例報告に対する賞賛
It is truly a masterpiece of descriptive clinical writing from the past century. In his exhaustive detailing of every observable aspect of the disease, Kawasaki was part Sherlock Holmes and part Charles Dickens with his sense of mystery and his vivid descriptions of the clinical features of these patients. (Commentary: Translation of Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki’s original report of fifty patients in 1967. BURNS, JANE C. MD. The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal: November 2002 – Volume 21 – Issue 11 – p 993-995)
