Alpha diversity analysis between acute KD children, non-acute KD children and healthy controls. (A) Rarefaction curve and shannon index curve (B) were used to estimate the sequencing depth (at a 97% similarity level) of the fecal microbiota between three groups. ACE index (C) revealed that non-acute KD children have higher bacterial richness than the acute KD children and healthy controls. Simpson index (D) revealed that acute KD children have a lower biodiversity than the non-acute KD children and healthy controls. K acute KD children, F non-acute KD children, N healthy controls.
