3 DEFINITION: o Kawasaki disease(kd) is an acute febrile illness of childhood ovasculitisof medium-sized extraparenchymal arteries o Predilection for coronary arteries o Leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries 3

4 HISTORY: o1st describedin 1967 by a Japanese pediatrician (Dr TomisakuKawasaki) (Kawasaki T «Acute febrile mucocutaneoussyndrome with lymphoid involvement with specific desquamation of the fingers and toes in children» Jpn J Allergy (Arerugi) 1967;16: ) o Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome o Cardiac involvement not apparent at first oautopsy cases: coronary artery aneurysms and thrombosis okd described in children around the world and virtually all races (Japan +++) 4

5 EPIDEMIOLOGY: Kawasaki disease o Nationwide surveys every 2 years in Japan oworldwidelinearincreasein incidence rate since1990 s (diseaseawarenessand recognition?) o2010: Incidence rate in Japan: 240/ (0-4 y old), in the USA 20/ oheightened incidence in people of Asian descent, both inside and outside Asia. 5

6 EPIDEMIOLOGY: Kawasaki disease opeakincidence between6 and 11 months o80-90% < 5 years oboys > Girls 6

7 ETIOLOGY: Unknown! Kawasaki disease Genetic susceptibility -Asian and Asian- American populations -family members of an index case Impaired immunoregulation Infectious agents, toxins KD 7

8 ETIOLOGY: J Infect Jul;67(1):1-10 8

9 CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS: based on clinical criteria! ofever o Usually more than 39.9 C, for at least 5 days o High spiking and remittent o Persists 1-2 weeks without treatment o May not respond to antipyretics o Usually resolves in 1-2 days after treatment with immunoglobulins o Altered general appearance o Featuresof KD canfluctuate: thorough medical history to determine their presence duringthe periodof illness. 9

10 CLASSIC CLINICAL CRITERIA (according to the American Heart Association) ofever of atleast 5 days duration opresenceof atleast 4of the following principal features: 1. Bilateral conjunctival injection 2. Changes in lipsand oral cavity 3. Cervical lymphadenopathy 4. Polymorphous exanthem 5. Changes in the extremities o Exclusion of other diseases with similar findings 10

11 1. Bilateral nonexudative bulbar conjunctivitis 11

12 2. Oropharyngeal inflammation Cracked lips Strawberry tongue + diffuse erythema of the oropharyngeal mucosa

13 3. Cervical lymph nodes enlargement Unilateral(> 1.5 cm)

14 4. Maculopapular rash Kawasaki disease

15 5. Changes in the extremities Erythemaof palms and/or soles, edema of hands and/or feet. Hand and/or foot periungual peeling skin(week 2-3 of disease course).

16 ASSOCIATED CLINICAL FEATURES: Adapted from Circulation. 2004;110(17):

17 Erythema and induration at BCG site

18 18

19 19

20 COMPLICATIONS: Kawasaki disease oprognosis based on the presence and severity of coronary artery lesions o Mild dilation giant aneurysms o 3-5% of children receiving IVIG oup to 25%in untreated children omore frequent in children < 6 months and 5 years 20

21 21

22 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: oviral infection measles adenovirus enterovirus Epstein-Barr virus obacterialinfection Scarlet fever cervical lymphadenitis o Drug hypersensitivity o Stevens-Johnson syndrome 22

23 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: o Juvenile idiopathic arthritis(systemic onset) otoxicshocksyndrome (associated with Staphylococcus or Streptococcus) o Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) o Others: acrodynia(mercury toxicity) 23

24 LABORATORY FINDINGS: o sedimentationrate (> 40 mm/h) o CRP o neutrophilia with immature forms othrombocytosis(> 1 week, peaksat3 weeks) oanemia o hypoalbuminemia o liverenzymes o sterile pyuria 24

25 ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY: Kawasaki disease o coronary artery dimensions o myocardial function o valve regurgitation o pericardial effusion echo echo echo echo diagnosis 1-2 weeks 6 weeks 12 months Time from diagnosis 25

26 POOR CLINICAL OUTCOME RISK FACTORS: o< 6 months, > 9 years o Asian, Pacific Islander and Hispanic races olaboratory parameters: o Neutrophilia o Thrombocytopenia o Hyponatremia o Elevated CRP o Elevated liver tests 26

27 INCOMPLETE KAWASAKI DISEASE: o More frequentin children< 12 m and > 5 y old o classic features of KD but not enough to meet the case definition. o < 4of the principal features but suggesting laboratory results or echocardiography o approximately 25% of the KD cohort o risk of coronary artery complications (diagnostic and treatment delay) 27

28 4) Supplemental laboratory criteria: -albumin 3.0 g/dl -anemia for age -elevation of ALT -platelets after 7 days 450,000/mm3 -white blood cell count 15,000/mm3 -urine 10 WBC/highpower field 28

29 29

30 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Blood: o Complete blood count (CBC): o Anemia o Leukocytosis (elevated white blood cells /µL) o Thrombocytosis= elevated platelets ( /µL after 7 days of illness) o Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate o Elevated C-reactive protein 30

31 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Blood: o AST, ALT, albumin, sodium: elevated liver function tests, decreased albumin and natremia(capillary leak) o Abnormal lipids decreasedlevelsof total cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1 and high-density lipoprotein o Serology: measles, EBV, ASLO o Blood culture if suspicion of septicemia 31

32 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Urine: Urine test strip: sterile pyuria (presence of leukocytes with negative urine culture) 32

33 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Stools: o o Culture for enterovirus, adenovirus: if positive, Kawasaki disease unlikely Search for blood may be positive 33

34 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Echocardiography: Myocarditis Pericardial effusion Congestive heart failure Valvular regurgitation (mitral> aortic) Coronary arteries abnormalities 34

35 COMPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION: o Other: o Prepare a throat swab for o measles PCR o Group A ß-hemolytic streptococcus culture if positive, Kawasaki disease unlikely 35

36 CASE DEFINITION-Major criteria: o o Fever 5 days Clinical criteria(signs of mucocutaneous inflammation) 1. Non-exudative bilateral conjunctivitis 2. Involvement of the lipsand oral cavity: 3. erythema, cracked lips, strawberry red tongue, diffuse inflammation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa. Usually unilateral neck lymphadenopathy( 1.5 cm) 4. Polymorphic exanthem 5. Involvement of handsand feet: erythemaof palms and/or soles, edema of hands and/or feet. Hand and/or foot periungual peeling skin(week 2-3 of disease course) 36

37 CASE DEFINITION-Minorcriteria: o Erythrocyte sedimentation rate 40 mm/h OR CRP 3 mg/dl o Echocardiographyshowing coronary artery or heart involvement 37

38 DIAGNOSTIC CERTAINTY LEVELS: 38

39 DIAGNOSTIC CERTAINTY LEVELS: 39

40 ACUTE PHASE TREATMENT: IVIG Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) 2g/kg 012/11/23/ oshould be instituted less than 10daysafter fever onset o Aim at reducing the inflammation o2 nd dose 2g/kg if refractory disease (persistent or recurrent fever at least 36 hours after the 1 st IVIG dose has been infused-11% to 23% of patients) 40

41 ACUTE PHASE TREATMENT: Aspirin Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) mg/kg/day o Anti-inflammatory dosage odivided into 4doses/day ountil the child is afebrile 41

42 ACUTE PHASE TREATMENT: oin case of resistance to IVIG after a 2 nd dose, consider a 3-day course of 30 mg/kg/day intravenous pulse of methylprednisolone 42

43 CONVALESCENT PHASE TREATMENT: oaspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)3 5 mg/kg per day in once-daily dosing(antithrombotic dosage) omaintain it until the patient shows no evidence of coronary changes by 6 to 8 weeks after the onset of illness ofor children who develop coronary abnormalities, aspirin may be continued indefinitely 43
