- Whats probable diagnosis?
- Diagnostic criteria?
- What are ECHO criteria for this disease?
- What are DDs? At least 4
- What is treatment?
- What 1s follow-up plan for a child with single coronary artery involvement?
Answer
Kawasaki disease
- Fever >5 days, unilateral LAP, B/L bulbar conjunctival ingestion without exudate, oral mucosa, redness with strawberry tongue, polymorphic rash.
- Z-score of left ant descending coronary artery (LAD) or RCA >2.5 SD, perivascular bnghtness, lack of tapering, decrease LV function, mitral regurgitation.
- . Scarlet fever, SSSS, TEN, measles, Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- . Treatment—IVIg 2 g/kg single dose, aspirin 100 mg/kg/day 6 hourly till 48 hours of fever subside than 3-5 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks than later depend on ECHO finding.
- . See Table 22.1.

Low-dose aspirin (3-5 mg/kg until aneurysm regression documented |
For patients <11-year-old) no restriction beyond 1st follow-up with aspirin /d), at least 6-8 weeks; patients 11—20-year-old, physical activity guided by biennial stress test, evaluation of myocardial counseling; perfusion scan; contact or high-impact sports discouraged for patients of myocardial taking antiplatelet agents |
Annual cardiology Angiography, if echocardiogram + suggests ischemia ECG, combined with cardiovascular risk assessment, biennial stress test/evaluation perfusion scan |
