defined as activated pro-coagulant platelets [74] and (ii) annexin V negative platelets, characterized by an increased mitochondrial membrane potential, prone to become pro-coagulant when in contact with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thromboxane, mediators normally released from activated platelets [75]. It has been hypothesized that in KD patients, activated pro-coagulant platelets could contribute to the increased thrombotic risk detected in these patients. Implication of oxidative stress in KD is depicted in **Figure 2**. Biomarkers of oxidative stress in KD patients are summarized in **Table 3**.
