KAWASAKI disease, which afflicts children, may be caused by a common bacterium and may be spread by the house-dust mite, a tiny creature less than a millimeter long, Japanese researchers have reported. Kawasaki disease generally affects children under the age of 5. Though most recover completely, the disease can sometimes damage the heart, liver and brain, or cause sudden death from a burst artery. The disease can be difficult to diagnose because it resembles many others. Among its symptoms are high fevers, red eyes, a ''strawberry tongue,'' swollen lymph nodes and a rash. Pediatricians have been unable to determine its cause or the way it is spread. The disease takes its name from Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki, the Japanese physician who first described it in 1967. The first case in the United States was diagnosed in 1971. The suspect bacterium is called Propionibacterium acnes. It is anaerobic, growing only in the absence of oxygen. The bacterium is commonly found on the skin of adults and older children, but much less frequently on the skin of young children.

An American expert said, in calling the report ''fascinating,'' that he would never have guessed that P. acnes might cause the disease. The expert said it was unclear why the disease, if it is caused by the bacterium, does not seem to respond to penicillin or other antibiotics. If further studies confirm the bacterium as the cause of the disease, doctors presumably could develop a diagnostic test. The new findings were made by a team of Japanese researchers at Kurume University, headed by Dr. Hirohisa Kato. In the Dec. 17 issue of The Lancet, a medical journal published in London, Dr. Kato's team reported isolating P. acnes from patients as well as from house-dust mites in their homes. Although the bacterium is a common one, the researchers reported that it behaved uncommonly in the laboratory. They said that it took from three to four weeks, compared to the usual period of several days, to culture the organism by standard microbiological techniques. They said they did not know why this was so, but they speculated that it was a variant strain of P. acnes.

The researchers isolated the bacterium from blood samples of five of 23 patients with early Kawasaki disease but from only one of 15 samples from patients who had been ill 8 days or longer. They also identified it in a lymph node that had been removed from one patient. The organism was not found in any samples taken from 60 children who had a variety of other maladies. In Japan, where Kawasaki disease is most prevalent, house-dust mites have been increasing with changes in housing styles. For that and other reasons, Dr. Kato's team used vacuum cleaners to collect samples of house-dust mites from the homes of six Kawasaki disease patients and from three homes where no cases of the disease had occurred. They identified the organism in mites from the six Kawasaki disease homes but not from the three used as controls. The fact that the strains of P. acnes isolated from the lymph node, patients' blood and mites were identical was considered strong evidence suggesting the role of P. acnes in causing Kawasaki disease.
