The evidence that suggests that the etiology of KD can be traced to an infectious agent includes temporal clustering and marked seasonality, geographic clustering, a strong association between the frequency of KD and infectious-disease surveillance [2, 9] , and age distribution (with the highest incidence among children 6 months to 2 years old, who have little maternal antibody and are, in general, the most susceptible to infection) [2] . An aliquot (2.6 mL) of RNA isolated from the clinical specimens, the positive template (10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 copies of the in vitro-transcribed RNA), and the negative control (distilled water) were subjected to real-time RT-PCR. ./cache/cord-321006-rxuq3ux8.txt ./txt/cord-321006-rxuq3ux8.txt
