Abstract
To measure the kidney size in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) and to delineate the condition of
nephromegaly, 20 children with KD were enrolled in our study. Kidney sizes were measured during acute stage in
these patients. Twenty healthy children and 15 febrile children served as healthy controls and fever controls,
respectively. To delineate the possible mechanism, we also evaluated kidney volume (KV) in 13 other patients
with KD during the acute phase and after the recovery phase as well as 26 healthy children. Plasma hepatocyte
growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) levels were determined for all children.
Kidney lengths and KV in patients with KD during the acute phase were significantly larger than those of healthy
children. There was no kidney enlargement in healthy controls and after the recovery phase. The ratio of patient
plasma HGF/TGF-beta1 during the acute phase and after the recovery phase correlated positively with the
degree of nephromegaly in all patients. These results confirm the presence of large kidneys in children with KD.
Our data also suggest that an elevated HGF/TGF-beta1 ratio may be responsible for the transient nephromegaly
in these children.

enrolled, and after admission, all received technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy single photon
emission computed tomography (DMSA renal SPECT), the results of which were used as the reference standard
for determining renal inflammation. Patients with renal inflammation underwent another DMSA renal SPECT more
than 6 months later to evaluate the sequelae. We found that 26 of the 50 patients (52%) had renal inflammatory
foci. There were no significant relationships between clinical or laboratory parameters and renal involvement in
KD, except the presence of coronary artery lesions [P

310.9 vs 115.0 +/- 65.9 ng/g urinary creatinine; P < .01), as were PI values (1.85 +/- 0.70 vs 1.44 +/- 0.53; P < .
05). Urinary IL-6 levels and PI values were significantly (P < .05) correlated.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased urinary IL-6 and elevated renal Doppler measures suggest that immune-mediated
vasculitis is one of the mechanisms causing renal inflammation in KD.

Abstract
Symptoms from the genitourinary system are unusual in Kawasaki disease (KD). Renal involvement is even rarer
and it is confirmed by biopsy when the person is alive. We describe the case of an 11-year-old boy admitted to
the hospital complaining about prolonged fever (5 days) and hematuria. His urinalysis showed also pyuria,
proteinuria and urinary renal tubular epithelial cells concentrations. During the next days, the patient presented
limb edema. After almost 2 weeks of hospitalization the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit because
of melena and intense abdominal pain. Upon admission, the patient collapsed and died. The diagnosis of KD was
established during autopsy. The macroscopical and histopathological examination of the heart showed increased
dimensions and weight and multiple thrombi in the coronary arteries with intramural dense polymorphonuclear
inflammatory infiltration and necrosis. Histological examination of the kidneys revealed normal glomerulus, mild
expansion of mesangial matrix, interstitial infiltration with lymphocytes, plasmatocytes and eosinophiles, normal
vessels and normal immunofluorescence.

Abstract
Few cases of Kawasaki disease with acute renal failure have been described and only three articles report
histological findings. We present an 8-year-old boy with typical Kawasaki disease and acute renal failure who did
not require dialysis and had a complete recovery. Pathological findings in percutaneous biopsy included
tubulointerstitial nephropathy with mild mesangial expansion, without vessel involvement or deposits in basal
membrane. These findings were similar to those previously reported. We also detected apoptotic bodies in
tubules.

Abstract
Renal involvement is well described in patients with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLNS), or
Kawasaki disease and is manifested by mild azotemia, hematuria, pyuria or cylinduria, and more often,
proteinuria. Renal morphology during the acute stages of the illness has never been reported. In this paper we
describe the renal histopathologic changes in a child with MCLNS. The glomerular histopathologic findings
suggest immune complex damage to the kidney as a possible mechanism of nephrotoxicity in MCLNS. Presence
of kidney lesions, which speak in favor of the injurious role of immune complexes in MLCNS may be relevant to
the understanding of the pathogenesis of the vascular lesions that are characteristic of this disease.

Abstract
There is no specific diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease, but certain laboratory findings are characteristics. In
acute phase of Kawasaki disease, neutrophils with toxic granules, CRP, ESR are elevated. The platelet count is
generally normal in the 1st week of illness and rapidly increases by the 2nd-3rd week of illness. The hepatic
transaminases, total cholesterol, LDL, and total bilirubin are increased in the acute stage. On the other hand, total
protein, albumin and sodium are generally decreased during 1st-2nd week of illness. Sterile pyuria and
cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis may be present. Moreover, the cytokines, the growth factors, and the adhesion
molecules are elevated according to the intensity of vasculitis.

Abstract
Infants with Kawasaki disease are at high risk of developing life-threatening coronary complications, yet may
elude timely diagnosis because they often lack the full complement of classic clinical features. We retrospectively
studied 26,540 children 1 year of age or less who were evaluated at a tertiary care pediatric emergency
department in whom a platelet count was performed. Among those infants with fever without a source identified,
8.5% with platelet counts of 800,000 cells/mm(3) or greater had Kawasaki disease compared to 0.4% with platelet
counts of less than 800,000 cells/mm(3) (likelihood ratio for Kawasaki disease was 17 [95% confidence interval,
8-34]). Because many infants present atypically, Kawasaki disease should be considered in all children of 1 year
or less with prolonged fever, extreme elevation of the platelet count, and no compelling alternative diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease is a common acquired heart disease in children. Only a few reports have
been published concerning Kawasaki disease in infants. This study was performed to assess the clinical spectrum
of Kawasaki disease in infants.
METHODS: Between January 1989 and December 1998, a total of 48 consecutive Kawasaki patients less than
one year of age were enrolled and studied retrospectively. Coronary artery dilation was defined as the internal
diameter of a coronary artery larger than 3 mm. All cases received 2 gm/Kg of intravenous immunoglobulin. We
divided the patients into two groups; group I; coronary artery dilation (+) and group II; coronary artery dilation (-),
and compared the clinical and laboratory data.

RESULTS: Of 273 patients with Kawasaki disease, 48 (17.5%) were less than one year of age. Among these
patients (< 1 year old), the median age was 7.8 +/- 2.8 months (range 2 months to 12 months), and the male to
female ratio was 1.52:1. The incidence of atypical Kawasaki disease was 31.2% (compared with an incidence of
atypical Kawasaki disease among patient more than one year of age of 7.5%; p < 0.001), and that of coronary
artery dilation was 35.4%. Clinical manifestations included fever 100%, extremity change 91.6%, skin rash 89.6%,
conjunctivitis 89.6%, oral mucosa change 89.6%, and cervical lymphadenopathy 0%. Laboratory data revealed
white blood cell count: 15,403 +/- 6,282/mm3, hemoglobin: 10.1 +/- 1.0 gm/dl, neutrophil: 59.2 +/- 13.7%,
lymphocytes: 30.6 +/- 13.1%, platelet count: 456,3000 +/- 216,4000/mm3, and C-reactive protein 8.2 +/- 5.6
mg/dl. Patients with coronary artery dilation had a longer duration of diagnosis, higher incidence of atypical
presentation, lower incidence of conjunctivitis, lower incidence of skin rash, lower incidence of extremity change,
and lower C-reactive protein. The predictive value of coronary artery dilation based on the combination of atypical
presentation, duration of diagnosis, and C-reactive protein was 81.2%.
CONCLUSIONS: Kawasaki disease in infants is associated with a high incidence of atypical presentation and
increased risk of coronary artery dilation. We suggest that in an infant with insufficient diagnostic criteria for
Kawasaki disease, care should be taken to avoid missing atypical Kawasaki disease. Echocardiography is an
important tool for diagnosis of atypical Kawasaki disease.

METHODS: A total of 242 children with KD disease were enrolled in the study. In the randomized controlled trial,
they were randomly divided into two groups: IVIG 1 g/kg group and IVIG 2 g/kg group, with aspirin administered
within the first 7 to 10 days of illness. The occurrence and restoration of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in these two
groups as well as the clinical and laboratory indexes including total fever duration, restoration of cervical
lymphadenopathy, white blood cells count, platelet count, serum immunoglobulin, C reactive protein, erythrocyte
sedimentation rate and EKG were observed. The clinical effectiveness of the groups before and after the
treatment was analyzed.
RESULTS: The age of the 242 children with KD disease ranged from 3 months to 14 years (mean 4.0 +/- 2.8
years old). Male to female ratio was 1.66:1, 83.1% of KD patients were blow 5 years old, 93.4% patients were
followed up with echocardiography at the end of the first year and the follow-up period was (38 +/- 18) months,
ranging from 4 months to 5.4 years; 86.9% of the cases in 1 g/kg group and 91.7% of the cases in 2 g/kg group
had their fever controlled within 48 hours. The difference was not significant (P > 0.05). Serum immunoglobulin
level was markedly enhanced after IVIG. Serum immunoglobulin levels in the patients of 2 g/kg group and 1 g/kg
group were (26.9 +/- 7.4) g/L and (18.3 +/- 6.9) g/L, respectively (P < 0.01). The average duration of fever in IVIG
1 g/kg group was 10.6 days. After the treatment with 1 g/kg of IVIG, the abnormal white blood cells count, platelet
count, C reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and abnormal EKG findings were greatly improved (P 0.05). In IVIG 1 g/kg group the occurrence of CAL was 29.5%. After the one-
year follow-up, 87.5% CAL restored, but 12.5% did not, among which 9.4% were those of IVIG non-responders. In
IVIG 2 g/kg group the incidence of CAL was 24.2%. After the one-year follow-up, 89.3% CAL restored, but 10.7%
did not, all of which were those of IVIG non-responders. There was no significant difference in the incidence of
CAL between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Single intravenous injection of IVIG at 1 g/kg could effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms,
decrease the incidence of CAL and reduce the complication of cardiovascular system. In the treatment of KD, the
therapeutic effectiveness of IVIG at 1 g/kg was not significantly different from that of single intravenous injection of
IVIG at 2 g/kg.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic inflammatory illness of young children that can result in coronary
artery aneurysms, myocardial infarction and sudden death in previously healthy children. Clinical and
epidemiologic features support an infectious cause, but the etiology remains unknown four decades after KD was
first identified by Tomisaku Kawasaki. Finding the cause of KD is a pediatric research priority. We review the
unique immunopathology of KD and describe the current treatment. New research has led to identification of viral-
like cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in acute KD tissues; this finding could lead to identification of the elusive
etiologic agent and result in significant advances in KD diagnosis and treatment. Current management of acute
KD is based upon prospective, multicenter treatment trials of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with high-dose
aspirin. Optimal therapy is 2 g/kg IVIG with high-dose aspirin as soon as possible after diagnosis during the acute
febrile phase of illness, followed by low-dose aspirin until follow-up echocardiograms indicate a lack of coronary
abnormalities. The addition of one dose of intravenous pulse steroid has not been shown to be beneficial. For the
10-15% of patients with refractory KD, few controlled data are available. Options include repeat IVIG (our
preference), a 3-day course of intravenous pulse methylprednisolone, or infliximab (Remicade). Patients with
mild-to-moderate coronary abnormalities should receive an antiplatelet agent such as low-dose aspirin (3-5
mg/kg/day) or clopidogrel (1 mg/kg/day up to 75 mg), and those with giant (approximately 8 mm diameter) or
multiple coronary aneurysms should receive an antiplatelet agent with an anticoagulant such as warfarin or low-
molecular-weight heparin. Acute coronary obstruction requires acute thrombolytic therapy with a surgical or
percutaneous interventional procedure.
