Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis mainly affecting children, with two types of presentation, namely, typical and atypical. It is the most critical cause of coronary artery complications and if not treated on time and appropriately, complications may occur in up to 25% of the patients will get. Patients: This study reports five rare cases of incomplete KD Who has...

kawasaki disease is a multi system disorder with varying clinical expressions. this disease is an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that has recently recognized as a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children of many developed countries. we describe an unusual instance of hair loss in a patient with kawasaki disease. a 26 months old boy developed prolonged high fever, bilat...

OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of blood N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and interleukin-17(IL-17) for incomplete Kawasaki disease. METHODS Patients with Kawasaki disease, Incomplete Kawasaki disease and unclear infectious fever were included in this retrospective study. Their clinical features, and laboratory test results of blood NT-proBNP and IL-17 were colle...

OBJECTIVE We sought to define the characteristics that distinguish Kawasaki disease shock syndrome from hemodynamically normal Kawasaki disease. METHODS We collected data prospectively for all patients with Kawasaki disease who were treated at a single institution during a 4-year period. We defined Kawasaki disease shock syndrome on the basis of systolic hypotension for age, a sustained decre...

BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease is an acute, systemic vasculitis that affects the coronary arteries. However, the relationship between myocardial fibrosis and Kawasaki disease has been completely unknown until now. We aimed to provide quantitative information about myocardial fibrosis using cardiac integrated backscatter in Han race Kawasaki disease patients. METHODS Ninety Kawasaki disease patie...

inflammation of blood vessels is a characteristic feature of kawasaki disease. neutrophils play a key role in the inflammatory responses where movement of neutrophils toward the site of inflammation depends on cd11b/cd18 expression as adhesion molecules on these cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate cd11b/cd18 expression in patients with kawasaki disease upon diagnosis and after t...

INTRODUCTION Kawasaki disease is an acute, self-limiting childhood systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Because there is no diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease, the diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. An important clinical sign that is not included in the classical clinical criteria for Kawasaki disease is a reaction at the Bacille Calmette-Guérin inoculation site that are present i...
