Epidemiology of Kawasaki disease in infants 3 months of age and younger / 소아과

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study investigated the epidemiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants 3-month-old. RESULTS: The 609 KD patients 2- and 3-months-old. The ratio of males to females was 1.721. The incidence of coronary artery (CA) dilatation (19.9% vs. 18.7%) and CA aneurysms (3.4% vs. 2.6%) detected by echocardiography did not differ significantly between patients with KD younger and older than 3-month-old. CONCLUSION: Compared with the data for the KD patients >3-month-old, the data for the 609 patients < or =3-month-old did not show a significantly higher incidence of CA dilatation or CA aneurysms.
