Progress of diagnostic and prediction model of Kawasaki disease / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Kawasaki disease(KD) is an acute systemic medium and small vasculitis which commonly occurred in children under 5 years old.Coronary artery lesion(CAL) is the most important complication of KD.So KD is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children.Due to the lack of gold standard for early diagnosis, accurate diagnosis of KD and early prediction of critical KD are the major clinical challenges.Early accurate diagnosis of KD, prediction of sensibility for intravenous immunoglobulin and prediction of CAL are of great application value in clinical diagnosis, treatment and reduction of CAL.So, we reviewed the progress of diagnostic and prediction model of KD.
