We evaluated the characteristics of patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) who presented only fever and cervical lymphadenopathy on admission, compared them those typical features but no lymphadenopathy.We enrolled 98 diagnosed KD. Thirteen had day admission (group 1), 31 2), 54 without 3).The mean age (4.3±2.1 years) duration (7.5±3.6 days) before first intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration were highest in group 1 (P=0.001). Moreover, this showed higher white blood cell neutrophil...

목 적: 지속적인 발열과 3개 이하의 가와사끼병 진단 기준을 만족하는 환자군에서 불완전 가와사끼병을 감별하는데 있어 NT-proBNP가 가지는 진단적 의미를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2008년 1월부터 2009년 6월까지 가와사끼병으로 및 치료 받은 환자 96명을 대상으로 진단은 입원 당일 열을 포함한 가와사끼병의 고전적인 기준에 따랐고, 기준의 만족 정도에 따라서 완전 환자군과 환자군으로 구분하였으며, NT-proBNP를 혈액검사를 시행하였다. 지속되는 열과 함께 미만의 만족하였지만 임상 경과와 여러 검사들을 통해 19명을 대조군으로 하여 분석하였다. 결 과: 96명의 중 3가지 이하로 만족한 환자는 33명으로 전체 환자의 34% 였다. 양상으로 구강 점막의 변화와 안검 충혈이 가장 많았는데 가와사끼병에 비해 발생 빈도는 적었다(76% vs 98%, 76% 90%). NT-proBNP는 대조군에 유의하게 높았으며( $1407.7{\pm}1633.5pg/mL$...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most significant postoperative complications pediatric cardiac surgery. Because serum creatinine has limitations as a diagnostic marker AKI, new biomarkers including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), molecule-1 (KIM-1), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) are being evaluated to overcome these detect AKI at an early stage after surgery.This study aimed investigate clinical usefulness in young children.Thirty patients with congenital heart...
