UNLABELLED Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used as an immunomodulatory treatment for several immune-mediated diseases. Early effects of high-dose IVIG treatment on biochemical profiles including lipids and proteins were evaluated in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). Twelve children with KD (9 boys) were treated with IVIG at 2 g/kg over a period of 12 h. Serial sera samples were co...
BACKGROUND We recently reported that the combination of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a novel and useful predictor of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistance in Kawasaki disease (KD). In the present study, to evaluate the effectiveness of the new risk score, we compared its predictive validity to that of previously reported risk scor...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Previous studies from Japan indicated that a gene polymorphism of ITPKC (rs28493229) is responsible for susceptibility to KD. We collected DNA samples from 1,531 Taiwanese subjects (341 KD patients and 1,190 controls) for genotyping ITPKC. In this study, no significant association was noted for the ITPKC polymo...
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) becomes one of the common diseases in Korea. Changes in clinical features and laboratory findings of KD were evaluated over a period of 10 years. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of KD patients and compared the clinical and laboratory features of two KD patient groups: those admitted from 2000 to 2004 (group A, 284 cases) and those admitted from 2010 to...
BACKGROUND Patients with Kawasaki disease (kDa) may develop coronary arterial lesions and subsequent coronary events. The first reported case in Taiwan was in 1976, and the annual incidence from 2003 to 2006 was 69/100 000 children < 5 years. A population study from Taiwan, a country with a high incidence of kDa, national health insurance, and easily accessible medical care, would adequately re...
Introduction 2D cross-sectional Dual-Inversion-Recovery (DIR) blackblood imaging of the coronary arteries has been used to assess Kawasaki Disease (KD) (Greil et al. 2007). A 3D coronary black-blood approach, however, has been shown to provide better coverage of the coronary tree (Botnar et al 2001). Furthermore, uptake of gadolinium contrast agent in coronary walls may indicate on-going inflam...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis caused by unknown infectious agents, host immune dysregulation and genetic susceptibility in children. Coronary artery lesions (CALs) complicate 15-25% of cases of untreated KD. The aim of this study was to investigate if the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs28493229 of the ITPKC gene is associated with susceptibility to KD or with CALs in Ta...
BACKGROUND The risk of allergic diseases among Kawasaki disease (KD) patients relative to the general population is not known. The aim of this study was to perform a population-based cohort study to investigate the risk of allergic diseases among children after KD in Taiwan- a country with the third highest incidence of KD in the world. METHODS Data were obtained from the Taiwan National Heal...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized with acute systemic vasculitis, occurs predominantly in children between 6 months to 5 years of age. Patients with this disease recover well and the disease is self-limited in most cases. Since it can lead to devastating cardiovascular complications, KD needs special attention. Recent reports show steady increases in the prevalence of KD in both Japan and ...
Background and aims Kawasaki disease (KD) is considered the leading cause of acquired heart disease in childhood in developed countries. Despite diagnose this disease is difficult in the case of infants, it is required a high clinical suspicion to ensure an early treatment. The aim of this study is compare clinical presentation and rate of coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) according to childr...
