Kawasaki disease is a common infectious disease of childhood, whose after-effects cause lifelong damage to the heart. In the developed world, it is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, outpacing rheumatic heart disease for the last several decades. Many children with Kawasaki disease require life-long medications to prevent complications of the disease, as well as frequent and intensive follow up with cardiologists. Rates of interventional procedures and adverse events later in life can be very high.

Cerebral Malaria (CM) is an encephalopathy that causes an estimated 343,000 yearly deaths as a result of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Survivors experience long-term neurological sequelae. Cerebral vascular dysfunction is well documented on autopsy of CM patients. Signs include congestion of cerebral blood vessels, adhesion of both parasites and leukocytes to the vascular endothelium, and thrombi in all verified CM patients.
