GOALS OF TOPIC REVIEW
1.
Clinical suspicion to diagnose KD must be high
2. Features of disease not all present at the same
time
3. Incomplete KD exists
4. Treat them early
Kawasaki Disease (KD)
 Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is a
generalized systemic vasculitis
Unknown etiology
 Complete (or classic) and incomplete disease

 Peaks at 18 to 24 months
 Rare below the age of 4 months or after 5 years of age.
 Younger infants have increased risk for long-term
sequelae and sudden death
Kawasaki Disease (KD)
 Incomplete KD (iKD) clinical manifestations are
more common in children <1 yr or >5 yr
 Leading cause of acquired heart disease in children
in N.A.
 High index of clinical suspicion is key for diagnosis
Epidemiology of KD
 Age of Onset
 Peak incidence at 1 year, mean 2.6 years, uncommon after 8
years.
 Incidence

U.S.A.: 9/100,000 (Caucasian) 32/100, 000 (Asian)
 Sex
 Male predominance, 1.5:1.
 Race
 In United States: Japanese > blacks > whites.
 Affects all races worldwide.
Epidemiology of KD
 Etiology
 Community outbreaks every 2-3 yrs suggest potential
transmissible cause.
 Season
 Winter and spring in N.A.
 Geography
 First reported in Japan, 1961; United States, 1971.
 Morbidity/Mortality
 Reported mortality rate of KD is low (0.1 to 0.3 percent)
 Often secondary to cardiac sequelae.
 Peak Mortality=15-45 days after onset of fever
Classic Kawasaki Disease
Fever for 5 days or more
plus FOUR of the following symptoms:
1. Bilateral Conjunctival injection (Nonexudative)
2. Changes to the Lips and Oral cavity

Erythema, peeling, cracking of lips, "strawberry tongue," or diffuse oropharyngeal mucosa
injection
3. Changes of the Extremities


Acute: Erythema of palms/soles, edema of hands/feet
Subacute: Peeling of finger tips/toes (Weeks 2-3)
4. Rash

Polymorphous, diffuse, maculopapular exanthem
5. Cervical adenopathy

Greater than or equal to 1.5 cm in diameter, usually unilateral, minimal erythema to skin,
non tender LAD
Clinical Features of KD
NOTE!!
 Typically all of the clinical features are not present at a single
point in time
 History is key
Kawasaki disease is divided into three phases:
 Acute febrile phase during first 2 weeks of illness
 Subacute phase from 2 to 4 weeks
 Convalescent phase from 4 to 6 weeks
 In most cases, all external clinical manifestations have resolved
by 6 weeks.

Coronary artery aneurysm development is most prevalent as the fever
begins to lessen
Manifestations of KD
Classic KD Clinical Criteria: Pearls
 Fever
 High- Spiking, Remittent with peak temp >39 C
 Not responsive to antibiotics or antipyretics
 Lips and Oral Cavity (90% cases)
 Typically no oral ulcerations or pharyngeal exudates
 Rash (70 to 90 %)
 Within 5 days of fever onset
 Diffuse non-specific maculopapular rash
Classic KD Clinical Criteria: Pearls
 Extremities (50-85%)
 Acute Erythema/Edema of Palms/Soles Desquamation
 Conjunctival Injection (>75%)
 Bilateral Non-Exudative
 Painless
 No associated corneal edema/ulcers
 Cervical LAD (25 to 70 %)
 Least common feature
 Occasionally mistaken for Bacterial adenitis
Incomplete Kawasaki Disease
Fever for 5 days and two to three clinical criteria of
classic Kawasaki disease
plus
 C-reactive protein 3.0 milligrams/L and/or
erythrocyte sedimentation rate 40 mm/h
plus
 Three or more of the following supplemental labs
or positive echo






1. Albumin <3 grams/dL
2. Anemia for age
3. Elevated alanine aminotransferase
3
4. Platelets >450,000/mm after 7 d of fever onset
3
5. White blood cell count >12,000/mm
6. Presence of pyuria (> 10 WBC/HPF)
Nondiagnostic Supplemental
Lab Criteria
1. Albumin <3 grams/dL
2. Anemia for age
3. Elevated ALT
3
4. Platelets >450,000/mm after
7 d of fever onset
5. White blood cell count
3
>12,000/mm
6. Presence of pyuria (> 10 WBC/
HPF)
Incomplete KD: Pearls
 More common in the extremes of the age spectrum
 ≤1 y/o or ≥5 to 9 y/o
 Labs help to increase or reduce the suspicion of KD
 ESR/ CRP are consistently elevated after day 7 of illness in KD
and should prompt echocardiogram
 iKD diagnosis often based on positive Echo findings
suggestive of early coronary arteritis
Cardiac Complications
• Coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia occur in 15% to 25% of
untreated children
• May lead to further myocardial infarction, sudden death,
or ischemic heart disease
• Treatment within 10 days reduces severe aneurysms to <1%
Phase of Illness
Cardiac Complications
Acute (0–2 wk)
Myocarditis, pericarditis, coronary arteritis,
arrhythmias, valvular regurgitation, LV

Investigations for KD: Echocardiogram
 Echo assessment is ideal as it is a non-invasive test
 Echo is used to assess coronary artery morphology, LV
and left valvular function, and the evolution of
pericardial effusions
Coronary artery aneurysms rarely form before 10 days of
illness but may see signs of coronary arteritis in acute KD
 Aneurysms most commonly involve the proximal LAD/RCA

Echocardiogram
 Echocardiogram is Positive if any conditions are met:
Aneursyms are
classified by size based
on Internal vessel
diameter
• Small= <5 mm
• Medium= 5-8 mm
• Large= >8 mm
Echocardiogram- Follow-Up
 Uncomplicated Cases
 Echo at time of diagnosis 2 weeks 6-8 weeks after onset
 Follow-up Echocardiograms
 Progression/Regression of Coronary AbN, evaluate
ventricular and valve function, and assess for pericardial
effusions
 Complicated Cases
 Persistently Febrile, Coronary abN, ventricular dysfunction,
pericardial effusion, or valvular regurgitation
 May need more frequent Echo or additional invasive testing
such as angiogram, CT, MRI, and cardiac stress testing

Treatment of KD
 Directed at reducing inflammation and preventing
cardiac complications.
Acute phase
 Combination of IVIG and high dose ASA

Aspirin works synergistically with IVIG to combat acute
inflammation, provides symptomatic relief of fever, and may
prevent thrombosis of inflamed or dilated coronary arteries

Steroids are not routinely indicated but may be useful in refractory
cases that do not improve with IVIG.
Treatment of KD
 Patients who develop aneurysms or coronary sequelae
are referred to a pediatric cardiologist and/or
cardiothoracic surgeon for further management
 Long-term therapy in individuals who develop
coronary aneurysms is aimed at preventing
myocardial ischemia or infarction

Dependent on severity of disease and aneurysm location/size
Treatment of Kawasaki disease
ASA
 Anti-inflammatory (high dose) and antiplatelet (low
dose) effects
 Must use in combination with IVIG to reduce coronary
abnormalities
 Treat with high-dose aspirin (20 to 25
milligrams/kg/dose every 6 hours)
 Dose is later reduced to 3 to 5 milligrams/kg once daily
for 6 to 8 weeks

Varied Protocols for when to reduce dose:
Afebrile x 48-72 hrs OR
 Continue until day 14 of illness and > 3-5 days afebrile

Treatment of Kawasaki disease
IVIG
 Unknown MOA but likely anti-inflammatory effects
 Single dose IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2 grams/kg
over 12 hours)

Rapid, symptomatic improvement in 90% of patients and
prevents aneurysm formation in 95%.
 Despite timely therapy, 5% will develop transient CA
dilation and 1% develop giant aneurysms
 IVIG may be readministered for persistent symptoms
Treatment of Acute Complications
Coronary Thrombosis/AMI
 Promoted by sluggish flow within dilated aneurysm
and occurrence of stenotic lesions at proximal and
distal ends

Differs from typical adult acute thrombosis related to
plaque rupture
 Treatment often aimed at targeting multiple steps in
coagulation cascade
 May benefit from interventional and surgical
techniques in acute and progressive CAD
Cardiology: Long Term Follow-Up
 Children without cardiovascular abnormalities treated
fully in the acute and subacute phase appear to be
clinically asymptomatic 10 to 21 years later
 CA dilatation <8 mm generally regresses over time
 Most smaller aneurysms fully resolve by echo
 Patients with giant aneurysms are at the greatest risk
for myocardial infarction resulting from CA occlusion

ASA until abnormality resolves. Annual follow-up
with ECG and echo if < 10 y and every other-year
stress testing if > 10 y. P.A. restrictions guided by
stress testing.
Long-term ASA ± warfarin. Annual follow-up with
ECG, echo, and stress testing. P.A. restrictions
guided by stress testing. No contact sports. Angio.
Long-term ASA ± warfarin ± calcium
channel/beta blocker to reduce myocardial oxygen
consumption. Echo and ECG every 6 mo. Stress
testing and Holter examination annually. P.A.
restrictions as above. Angiogram.
Incomplete KD Algorithm- Does it work??
KD with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy
 Case series

Initial presentation of only fever and cervical LAD at the
time of admission.
 These patients tended to be older and to have a more
severe course, with increased risk of coronary artery
disease and lack of response to IVIG

Thus, certain presentations may be associated with a worse
prognosis
Incomplete KD- Delayed Diagnosis
 Incomplete KD should not be equated with mild KD
(Sonobe et al., 2007)

Literature suggests that patients with Incomplete KD are more
likely to develop coronary artery abnormalities, probably
because they are less likely to be diagnosed expeditiously
 14.2
% in Complete KD vs. 18.4 % in Incomplete KD
 Repeated histories and physical examinations are
important for:
 Diagnosis of KD
 Consideration of alternative diagnoses
Kawasaki Disease: Summary
 KD is a systemic illness characterized by fever,
conjunctivitis, mucositis, rash, extremity changes, and
cervical lymphadenopathy.
 Patients who lack a sufficient number of findings to
fulfill the classic criteria may have incomplete KD
 No laboratory or cardiac studies are included among
the classic diagnostic criteria for KD, but certain
findings characteristic of KD may support the
diagnosis in ambiguous cases
Kawasaki Disease: Pearls
 Must consider KD in the DDx of a child with unexplained
fever for 4-5 days that is associated with any clinical
features of KD
 History is Key Features often do not occur at the same
time so must ask if clinical criteria have been present
 When entertaining the diagnosis of possible iKD, using the
algorithmic approach and consulting a specialist is advised
 Early treatment of KD with IVIG and high dose ASA can
drastically reduce the likelihood of development of cardiac
complications
