□ Intussusception
o Peak: boys under 4 y/o o Vasculitis: principal
□ Necrotizing Enterocolitis finding and can lead to aneurysm and myocardial
infarction
□ Appendicitis
o Infection -> altered immune function -> increased
□ Celiac Disease antibody production -> circulating immune
complexes bind to vascular epithelium -> blood
□ Hirschsprung’s Disease
vessels inflammation -> aneurysm, platelet
accumulation, thrombi formation

scarlet fever, “strep throat” or impetigo
