| Abstract |
|
Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness of unknown origin and its most serious complication is
coronary aneurysms
We compared the coronary arterial dilatated group with nondilatated group in clinical manifesta-
tion laboratory test, electrocardiography in 90 children with Kawasaki disease, who were admitted
to department of Pediatrics of Fatima Hospital from July 1985 to June 1990.
The results were as follows.
1) Coronary arterial dilatation was observed in 24.4% of all cases.
2) Coronary arterial dilatation was more frequent in under the age of lyear and the boy, but it was
not significant (X2=2.6, p>0.1)
3) The duration of fever, Maximal WBC count, elevation of ESR, Hypoalbuminemia, Gallbladder
hyprops in abdominal ultrasonogram, early onset arthritis were significantly contributed in dilatation
of coronary artery.
4) Minimal hemoglobin, Maximal platelats count, Transaminase, ECG finding, late onset arthritis
were not significant in dilatation of coronary artery.
5) More rapidly onset of initial therapy of aspirin was, lesser frequency of coronary arterial
dilatation was.
