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.

Answer to Question 2

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.
