Kawasaki Disease mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome Pediatric group

Kawasaki Disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) Pediatric group of Emergency department Chung-Gang Memorial Hospital Chen, Kuan-fu M. D.

Case presentation ¡ A 3 y/o male with 5 days fever brought to ER for help again ¡ Triage: T: 39, P: 130, R: 20, BP: 120/60 ¡ Present Illness: Fever off and on Poor appearance Fair breathing Fair circulation

Case presentation ¡ Lab data CBC/DC: WBC 19 k, Hb 9. 7, MCV 87, Plt 870 k SMA: CRP 80, ESR 40, AST 120, Bil(T)3. 0 U/A: WBC 10/HPF ¡ Impression Prolonged fever, r/o UTI Abnormal liver function Skin rash

Case presentation ¡ Progress Fever still noted Shock PICU coronary aneurysm IVIG, ASA given Expired 4 days after admission

Epidemiology ¡ Incidence in TW: 66 per 100, 000 per year 2 ¡ ♂: ♀=1. 5: 1 ¡ 80% <5 y/o, most <2 y/o, rare >8 y/o ¡ <2% recurrence 3 ¡ KD is uncommon among infant<3 months In a 105755 cases of KD in Japan, 1. 67%<3 months, only 6 cases <30 days 4 U. S zero case of KD <9 weeks 5

Pathogenesis ¡ The infectious agent theory 6 1. The acute limited nature, just like toxic shock syndrome, scarlet fever 2. A seasonal peak in activity in the winter and early spring 3. The presence of both endemic and epidemic disease 4. The characteristic group 6 months~8 years

Pathogenesis ¡ The Superantigen theory 6 1. Vasculitis and arthritis 2. Infrequent person to person transmission Expansion of T-cell receptor Vβ 2+ Tlymphocytes in patients with acute KD TSST-1 secreting S. aureus, SPEB/SPEC producing group A streptococci

Pathology 6 ¡ Stage 1 (0 -9 days) Acute small vessel vasculitis, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis ¡ Stage 2 (12 -25 days) Thrombotic diathesis with marked inflammation of the media of coronary arteries and other mediumsized arteries leading to formation of aneurysms. ¡ Stage 3 (28 -31 days) Regression of the acute inflammatory process. ¡ Stage 4 (40 days to 4 years) Scar formation and organization of thrombi.

Clinical Manifestations ¡ Fever ≧ 5 days, usually 7 -14 days (95%) remittent pattern with several spikes each day 7 1. Bilateral conjunctival injection (initially) 2. Oral mucous membrane changes: 1. 3. Peripheral extremity changes 1. 2. 4. 5. injected or fissured lips, injected pharynx, or strawberry tongue Acute: erythema of palms or soles or edema of hands or feet Convalescent: periungual desquamation Polymorphous rash Cervical lymphadenopathy (at least one lymph node >1. 5 cm in diameter)

1. Clinical Manifestations

Clinical Manifestations ¡ Atypical Kawasaki disease Fever and less than 4 of these 5 criteria Findings of coronary abnormalities 7 Younger, more % KD Atypical LAP 50 10 Rash 90 50 Ext. 85 60 Mucosa 90 90

Clinical Manifestations ¡ Cardiovascular: ECG changes (arrhythmias, abnormal Q waves, prolonged PR and/or QT intervals, occasionally low voltage, or ST-T wave changes); Chest x-ray abnormalities (cardiomegaly); echocardiographic changes (pericardial effusion, coronary aneurysms (20 -25%), or decreased contractility); mitral and/or aortic valvular insufficiency Aneurysms of peripheral arteries (e. g. , axillary), Angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction.

Clinical Manifestations ¡ Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hydrops of gallbladder, paralytic ileus, mild jaundice, and mild increase of serum transaminase levels ¡ Respiratory: Cough, rhinorrhea, and pulmonary infiltrate ¡ Neurological: Mononuclear pleocytosis in cerebrospinal fluid, striking irritability, and rarely, facial palsy

Clinical Manifestations ¡ Joint: Arthritis, arthralgia (20 -40%), especially hips, knees, or elbows ¡ Skin: Perineal rash and desquamation in subacute phase and transverse furrows of fingernails (Beau's lines) during convalescence ¡ Blood: Increased ESR, leukocytosis with left shift, positive CRP, hypoalbuminemia, and mild anemia in acute phase of illness (thrombocytosis in subacute phase) ¡ Urine: Sterile pyuria of urethral origin and occasional proteinuria

Coronary Aneurysm Commonly occur in 10 days to 4 wks ¡ Uncommonly occur >6 wks ¡ Small<5 mm, medium 5 -8 mm, giant>8 mm ¡ Factors of increased risk 7: ¡ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Male Age <1 y/o Signs or symptoms of carditis, including arrhythmias Fever>10 days Recurrence of fever after an afebrile period ≧ 24 hrs

Differential Diagnosis

Treatment ¡ IVIG NEJM 19918: lower relative prevalence of coronary abnormalities, lower mean temperatures, a shorter mean duration of fever, indexes of acute inflammation moved more rapidly toward normal( serum albumin level, alpha 1 -antitrypsin level, and C-reactive protein level). 2 g/kg single infusion over 12 hrs within 10 days of onset of fever decrease the incidence and severity of coronary lesions (20 -25% <5%)7 Live virus vaccines (measles, mumps, rubella) should be delayed for at least 5 months after IVIG

¡ Aspirin anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects, 80 -100 mg/kg/d orally in 4 equally divided doses until fever subsides then 35 mg/kg qd for 6 -8 wks if no coronary arterial abnormalities 7 affected duration of fever, high-dose and lower-dose aspirin regimens have been associated with a similar incidence of coronary artery abnormalities at 30 and 60 days after disease onset. 9

¡ Steroids Controversial ¡ 1979: H Kato 10: (92 cases of KD)coronary aneurysms in 20% of cases treated with an antibiotic alone, 64. 7% of cases in the steroidtreated group, and 11% of those in the aspirintreated group ¡ 2003: Okada Y. 11: (32 cases of KD)The levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 within 24 hours after initiating IVGG therapy were significantly lower in the G + S group than in the G group. The duration of fever was shorter, and the Creactive protein concentration decreased more quickly in the G + S group than in the G group.

Prognosis 6 ¡ ~75% resolution without sequelae ¡ ~25% coronary artery abnormalities and 55% showed regression ¡ Myocardial infarction is the principal cause of death
