Background

  • Also known as: mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome
  • Vasculitis of unknown etiology
  • Peaks at 18-24 months
    • Rare in <4mo, >5yr
  • Leading cause of acquired heart disease in children
  • Coronary aneurysm more common in incomplete than in classic KD

Clinical Features

  • Fever that is high, abrupt
  • Rash often seen in perineum; accompanies onset of fever
    • Maculopapular most common; vesicles not seen
  • Cardiac complications develop early on
    • Coronary artery aneurysm development most prevalent as fever lessens

Associated Symptoms

  • Cardiac
    • Coronary aneurysm
      • Most develop during 3-4th week of illness
      • May lead to MI (leading cause of death)
    • Myo/pericarditis
    • Pericardial effusion
    • LV dysnfunction
    • Valvular dysfunction
    • Dysrhythmias
  • Labs
    • Elevated ESR/WBC/LFTs/Plts
  • Aseptic meningitis
  • Urethritis
  • Anemia
  • RUQ pain, large GB (hydrops)

Differential Diagnosis

Pediatric fever

Diagnosis

Work-Up

  • CBC
  • LFTs
  • ESR, CRP
  • Blood culture
  • UA
  • ECG
  • TTE (Coronaries, LV, valves)
  • Red Top "Kawasaki Serum to CBR"

Evaluation

  • Clinical diagnosis

Criteria

Classic Kawasaki Disease Incomplete Kawasaki Disease
Fever for 5 d or more plus four of the following symptoms Fever for 5 d and two to three clinical criteria of classic Kawasaki disease
  1. Bilateral nonexudative conjunctivitis plus 
  2. Mucous membrane changes (erythema, peeling, cracking of lips, "strawberry tongue," or diffuse oropharyngeal mucosae) C-reactive protein 3.0 milligrams/L and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate 40 mm/h plus three or more of the following supplemental labs or positive echo
  3. Changes of the extremities (erythema or swelling of hands/feet, peeling of finger tips/toes in the convalescent stage)   1. Albumin <3 grams/dL
  2. Anemia for age
  3. Elevated alanine aminotransferase
  4. Platelets >450,000/mm3 after 7 d of fever onset
 
  4. Rash
  5. Cervical adenopathy (more than one node >1.5 cm unusually unilateral anterior cervical)   5. White blood cell count >12,000/mm3
 
  6. Presence of pyuria

Management

  • IVIG 2gm/kg over 12hr
  • Aspirin 20mg/kg/dose q6h

Disposition

  • Admit
