Abstract

Introduction: KAWASAKI DISEASE (KD) is an idiopathic childhood acute febrile multi-organ VASCULITIS that has become one of the leading causes of acquired heart disease in CHILDREN. Regarding the increasing cases of the disease and susceptibility of the Asian race, this was conducted retrospectively on patients hospitalized in Mofid and Loghman hospitals in 1375-1380.Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study carried out on 30 patients diagnosed as KD. Epidemiological and clinical patterns, laboratory manifestations and treatment methods were described. Results: The age's of the patients at the time of diagnosis ranged from 4 months to 9 years (Mean=40 months), with a male to female ration of 2. The maximum number of cases was in the age group of 12-24 months and most the cases occurred in the winter. 36.6% of patients had less than 5 diagnostic criteria. Cardiac complications were seen in 6.6% and elevated ESR (>60) was seen in 80% of them. The incidence of atypical KD was 36.6%.Conclusion: It seems that elevated ESR can be a useful laboratory supportive evidence. The seasonal variation of the incidence seems to be different in our country. Further studies with large samples are recommended to identify the incidence of atypical cases and cardiac complications.
