| Popis: | Analysis of the case records of 18 children admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow between June 1981 and May 1990 satisfied the diagnostic criteria of Kawasaki syndrome as published by Japan's Kawasaki disease research comittee in September 1984. No aetiological agents were implicated. All children had cardiological work-ups including chest x-ray, ECG, 2-D echocardiography. Two children had gammaglobulin therapy and 16 had treatment with aspirin. All children except one recovered without sequelae. The child with right coronary artery aneurysm has since had successful coronary bypass surgery. |
