ANS: D
Kawasaki disease is related to inflammation of small capillaries. Kawasaki disease is not a result of a genetic defect, an autoimmune disease, or infectious pericarditis.

Left heart failure in infants is manifested as poor feeding and sucking, often leading to failure to thrive. None of the other symptoms is associated with left-sided failure.
