1.Kawasaki disease
川崎症
As data continue to emerge about a multi-system inflammatory disorder in children apparently connected to COVID-19, evidence is growing that this is not your typical Kawasaki disease.
2.lymphocyte

3.count
/kaʊnt/ n. number
These patients also have low lymphocyte counts, whereas traditional Kawasaki disease comes with a high count.

5.immunoglobulin
/ˌɪm.jə.noʊˈɡlɑː.bjə.lɪn/ n. a protein that can destroy harmful bacteria in the body 免疫球蛋白
Treatment for the two conditions also differs, Choueiter said, as patients with Kawasaki disease are generally treated with intravenous immunoglobulin.
6.triage
/ˈtriː.ɑːʒ/ n the process of examing patients to decide which ones are the most seriously ill and must be treated first 检伤分类
vt. to exam patients to decide which ones are the most seriously ill and must be treated first
It's a good first step, so we can identify patients, triage them and figure out how to manage them," Choueiter noted.
7.gastrointestinal
/ˌɡæs.troʊ.ɪnˈtes.tən.əl/ adj. related to both the stomach and the intestine肠胃有关的
8.meningeal
/məˈnɪn.dʒi.əl/ adj. related to the meninges 和脑脊膜有关的

/ˌkɑːr.di.oʊˈvæs.kjə.lɚ/ adj. related to the heart and blood vessels和心血管有关的
"From a clinical perspective, they were older, had respiratory and gastrointestinal involvement, meningeal signs, and signs of cardiovascular involvement," they wrote.
10. pathogenesis
/ˌpæθ.əˈdʒen.ə.sɪs/ n. the cause and development of a disease 病理机制
The authors also noted that in the past 20 years, coronaviruses "have been proposed as possibly implicated in the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease."
11.antibody-mediated phenomenon
抗体介导现象
12.asymptomatic
/ˌeɪ.sɪmp.təˈmæt.ɪk/ adj. showing no symptoms 无症状的
"If this is an antibody-mediated phenomenon, there might be implications for vaccine studies, and this might also explain why some children become very ill with COVID-19, while the majority are unaffected or asymptomatic."
