Backstreet Kid has Kawasaki Disease
Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell has put an update on his official website about the illness of his 6-year old son Baylee. His son was released from the hospital just right before Christmas and has been diagnosed with A-Typical Kawasaki Disease. The boy was originally thought to have had strep throat, hand, foot, mouth disease and erythema multiforme. He stressed the A-Typical part saying his son didn’t have the usual symptoms. “Kawasaki Disease causes inflammation in the coronary arteries as well as the walls of the small and medium sized arteries throughout the body. Unfortunately, Baylee’s coronary arteries were affected. He received an IVIG, which is a treatment to bring down the inflammation in his coronary arteries. Baylee will be closely monitored for the next 6-8 weeks by a Pediatric Cardiologist to see if the treatment was effective.”
