Abstract Objective: To explore the correlation between meteorological factors and incidence of Kawasaki disease (KD) in Wenzhou. Methods: The medical records of 1 956 KD patients and meteorological factors in Wenzhou from January 2005 to December 2015 were retrieved. The correlation between the number of KD patients and the meteorological factors was studied. Results: The incidence rate of KD was high in spring and summer but low in winter. Amount of rainfall was a positive correlation factor on the incidence of KD (r=0.217, P<0.05), while atmospheric pressure and wind speed were negative correlation factors (r=-0.209, -0.652, P<0.05). Temperature and sunshine duration had no significant correlation with KD incidence (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results suggest that meteorological factors are correlated with the pathogenesis of KD.
