A report of 2 patients who developed diabetes after Kawasaki disease (KD) led us to determine whether macrophages and/or T cells infiltrate acute KD pancreas. Three of 10 acute fatal KD cases had diffuse macrophage infiltration of the pancreas; T cells were not prominent. Affected islets were seen in close proximity to normal islets. These findings may explain the rarity of diabetes after KD.
