Abstract

Purpose: Kawasaki disease (KD) shows a variety of clinical signs of multi-system involvement, including clinical diagnostic criteria. It is unknown that the severity of the clinical signs is associated with the risk of coronary artery lesions (CALs). We wanted to evaluate clinical characteristics and the risk of CALs in the patient groups who had severe skin lesions or those with arthritis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 220 KD patients who were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). We compared clinical and laboratory data between the group with severe skin lesions (n=52) and those with mild or no skin lesions (n=168), and between the group with arthritis (n=6) and those without arthritis (n=214). Results: The mean age of total patients was $2.23{\pm}1.87years$ of age, and the male-to-female ratio was 1.5:1 (138/82). Among 220 patients, 52 patients had CALs (23.6%), and 29 patients (13.2%) showed incomplete KD. The patients with CALs had a higher mean age, longer total fever duration, and higher rate of IVIG non-responsiveness. The patient group with severe skin lesions showed a higher mean age (P<0.001), more prolonged fever duration (P=0.041), higher frequency of CALs (P=0.033), higher WBC, neutrophil, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio levels, compared to the patient group without severe skin lesions. The patients with arthritis had a tendency of further treatment with methylprednisolone or infliximab. Conclusions: The frequency of CALs was higher in patient group with severe skin lesions. Our results suggest that the intensity of clinical signs of KD such as skin rash, cervical lymphadenopathy and possibly arthritis may be associated the risk of CALs.

목적: 가와사끼병(Kawasaki disease, KD)은 여러 기관을 침범하여 다양한 임상적 징후를 나타낸다. 임상적 징후들의 중증도와 관상동맥병변(coronary artery lesion, CAL)과의 연관성은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 심한 피부병변이나 관절염을 가진 환자군들이 나타내는 임상 양상들과 CAL의 발생 위험도를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 면역글로불린을 투여 받은 KD 환아 220명을 대상으로 후향적으로 조사하였다. 심한 피부병변이 있는 환자군(52명)과 경하거나 피부 병변이 없는 환자군(168명), 관절염이 있는 환자군(6명)과 관절염이 없는 환자군(124명)간의 임상 양상 및 검사실 소견을 각각 비교하였다. 결과: 전체 환자들의 평균 나이는 $2.23{\pm}1.87$세였고 남아와 여아의 비는 1.5:1 (138/82)이었다. 220명 중에 52명(23.6%)은 CAL을 동반하였고 29명(13.2%)은 비전형적 KD를 보였다. CAL을 동반한 군이 나이가 많고 발열 기간이 길었으며 면역글로불린 치료에 반응하지 않는 비율이 높았다. 심한 피부 병변을 가진 환자군은 심한 피부 병변이 없는 환자군보다 평균 나이가 많고(P<0.001), 발열 기간이 길고(P=0.041), CAL 발생율이 높았으며(P=0.033), neutrophil 및 neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio 수치가 높았다(P=0.031, P=0.001). 관절염이 있는 환자군은 methylprednisolone 또는 infliximab으로 더 많이 치료를 받게 된 경향이 있었다. 결론: 가와사끼병에서 CAL의 발생 빈도는 심한 피부병변이 있는 군에서 더 높았다. 본 연구는 피부 병변, 경부 림프절병, 관절염과 같은 가와사끼병의 임상적 징후의 중증도가 CAL의 위험도와 연관성이 있을 것이라 제안한다.
