RESUMEN
Introducción: La enfermedad de Kawasaki es una vasculitis sistémica aguda de la infancia, de etiología desconocida, considerada la principal causa de cardiopatía adquirida en la infancia en los países desarrollados. Por ello, es importante conocer las manifestaciones clínicas y las complicaciones de pacientes con enfermedad de Kawasaki en nuestro medio y buscar factores relacionados con la aparición de alteraciones cardiológicas. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de 76 niños diagnosticados de enfermedad de Kawasaki desde enero de 1997 hasta mayo de 2008. Resultados: El 64,5% eran varones, con una edad media de 3 años y 4 meses. Las manifestaciones clínicas principales que presentaron fueron fiebre (media 8,13 días), exantema, hiperemia conjuntival bilateral, afectación bucal, afectación de extremidades, adenopatía única y artralgias. Entre los hallazgos analíticos destacaron leucocitosis, trombocitosis, proteína C reactiva (PCR) y velocidad de sedimentación glomerular elevadas, hipoalbuminemia, hiperbilirrubinemia, aumento de transaminasas y piuria estéril. Presentaron alteraciones coronarias12 pacientes (15,7%), 2 insuficiencia mitral leve y 1 derrame pericárdico leve. Hubo una hepatitis colestásica. Todas las complicaciones se resolvieron sin secuelas. Se identificaron como factores de riesgo para la aparición de aneurismas coronarios el sexo varón (OR = 1,24), exantema urticariforme (OR = 10,53) y PCR > 10 mg/dl (OR = 4,20). Conclusiones: Nuestros pacientes presentaron las manifestaciones clínicas y analíticas típicas de la enfermedad de Kawasaki. El 15,7% tuvo alteraciones coronarias leves. Son factores de riesgo de aparición de aneurismas coronarios el sexo masculino, exantema urticariforme y PCR elevada (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis of childhood, of unknown origin, and is considered the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Therefore, it is important to know clinical manifestations and complications in children with Kawasaki disease in our environment and to look for risk factors for the development of cardiac complications. Material and methods: Retrospective review of 76 children with Kawasaki disease evaluated from January 1997 to May 2008. Results: Of the patients studied, 64.5% were males. The mean age was 3 years and 4 months. The main clinical findings were fever (mean of 8.13 days), rash, bilateral non-exudative conjunctivitis, changes in lips and oral cavity, changes in the extremities, cervical lymphadenopathy and arthralgias. The most important laboratory findings were leucocytosis, thrombocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hypoalbuminaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia, elevated serum transaminases and sterile pyuria. Twelve of the patients (15.7%) developed coronary artery aneurysms, two patients had a mild mitral insufficiency and one patient with a mild pericardial effusion. There was one case of cholestatic hepatitis. All the complications were resolved without sequelae. Male sex (OR = 1.24), an urticarial exanthem (OR = 10.53) and a C-reactive protein > 10 mg/dl(OR = 4.20) were identified as risk factors for coronary aneurysms. Conclusions: Our patients had the typical clinical and laboratory findings of Kawasaki disease. Mild coronary artery complications were observed in 15.7% of the patients. Male sex, an urticarial exanthem and an elevated C-reactive protein are risk factors for coronary aneurysms (AU)
