RESUMO

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease of childhood. The authors retrospectively reviewed cases of KD in major referral centers of central Northeast Thailand from July 1991 to June 2003. Seventy-three episodes occurring in 72 patients were diagnosed with KD by the American Heart Association criteria with a mean age of presentation of 27 +/- 19 months. The annual incidence was 2.2 per 100,000 children < 5 years of age. Coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) were found in 15 (20.5%) children. Nine patients (18%) who were diagnosed before 10 days were not treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Two (13%) of the 15 patients still had coronary lesions at the end of the follow-up period of 35.5 +/- 13.4 months. Index of suspicious should be maintained in children who had clinical signs of KD for early diagnosis and prompt treatment with IVIG.

RESUMO

The authors present the case of a 2-month-old infant with double aortic arch that developed massive bright red upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage from aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) after prolonged endotracheal and nasogastric intubation. Emergency thoracotomy with AEF and double aortic arch repaired were done successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass. Due to tracheomalacia and left phrenic nerve injury, tracheal extubation could not be done until 1 month after correction of the vascular ring. The endotracheal and nasogastric tube led to fistula formation by compression of the esophageal wall against an abnormal double aortic arch. When a double aortic arch is suspected, prolonged nasogastric intubation should be avoided.
