RESUMO

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a childhood-onset vascular disease. We assessed the concentrations of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and those of lipids in sera from patients with KD. The M-CSF concentration in patients with acute-phase KD was 2,914+/-159 U/ml, significantly higher than that in control subjects with Infectious diseases (1,241+/-96 U/ml). The elevated levels of this cytokine in the acute phase fell to 1,319+/-138 U/ml in the convalescent phase. Total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in acute phase KD (113.8+/-8.4 and 21.5+/-2.3 mg/dl, respectively) were lower than in the infectious disease controls (195.8+/-7.0 and 62.5+/-1.8 mg/dl). The elevation of M-CSF correlated with the decrease of total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Overproduction of macrophage-colony stimulating factor activates macrophages and monocytes and may disturb the lipid metabolism. Both effects could contribute to vasculitis in KD.
