Abstract:Objective To compare KDSS (Kawasaki disease shock syndrome) with KD (Kawasaki disease) in clinical manifestation, characteristic of laboratory examination and therapy that make convenient for recognition of KDSS. Method A total of 45 cases of KD related diseases hospitalization in our hospital including 15 KDSS and 30 KD were retrospectively analyzed through characteristic of clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and therapy. Results The time of hospital stay was longer in KDSS than KD (P?0.05). The white blood cell number, percentage of neutrophils, CRP and PCT were higher in KDSS than KD with significant difference (P?0.05). TnI were higher in KDSS though no difference were found in CK-MB between two groups. The level of ALT, AST, BNP, lactate were higher in KDSS than in KD significantly (P?0.05) except albumin, sodium, leucocyturia and ESR. Low heart sound and gallop rhythm occurred frequently in KDSS (P?0.05). No significant difference was found about ECG except ST-T changes (P?0.05). The decrease in ejection fraction were (60.53?±?9.73) % in KDSS more than KD (64.3?±?4.90) % with significant difference (P?0.05). Both of the two groups were given aspirin and immune globulin. 2 cases in KDSS group received twice immunoglobulin but KD none (P?>?0.05). 14 cases of KDSS were interrupted by vasoactive drugs, 5 by albumin and 15 by glucocortiocoid more than KD with significant difference (P?0.05). Conclusion Patients in KDSS presented similar clinical manifestations with KD, and higher level of white blood cells, CRP, PCT higher than KD group. KDSS presented injury of cardiovascular system (increase of TnI, changes of ST-T and decrease of ejection fraction). More vasoactive agent and glucocortiocoid were used in KDSS.
