Is Kawasaki disease an autoimmune disease caused by the cross-targeting of two infections?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis: Two infections on one target tissue. One infection involves infecting inside of cells the other outside of the cells of the target tissue.

The inner viral infections:

coronavirus

The outer bacterial infections:

Location is more important than the type of virus when triggering autoimmune disease. If an infections exists inside of a cell as well as outside then an autoimmune response is triggered.

  1. It's genuinely very difficult in this active life to listen news on Television, so I only use the web for that purpose, and obtain the most recent news.
