In 2011, after the end of the 2009 new influenza epidemic, four diseases, Kawasaki disease (KD), hand-foot-and-mouth disease, erythema infectiosum, and aseptic meningitis, occurred simultaneously in Tokyo, but in 2024, after the COVID-19 pandemic ended, the incidence of KD was suppressed by the outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, resulting in the simultaneous occurrence of three diseases other than KD

Tokyo’s sentinel surveillance weekly reporting highest record of Kawasaki disease cases in spring 2025 should be regarded as the key predictive indicator of a 2018-like situation, given Japan’s lack of rapid reporting of cancer incidence and the 2018 coincidence of extreme pollen levels with peak Kawasaki disease, cancer, and designated intractable disease incidence

In Japan, asthma mortality declined from 1950 to 2019, but halted in 1978 and continued to stall till 1996, plateauing at high levels. Notably, 1978 marked the onset of widespread pollen dispersal in Japan, suggesting increased pollen exposure may have influenced asthma severity, contributing to symptom changes, worsening, and exacerbations during this period nationwidely
