Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculiticsyndrome of early childhood, who presented withfever, rash, conjunctival injection, cervicallymphadenitis, inflammation of the lips and oral
cavity, and erythema and edema of the hands andfeet.
Kawasaki disease is the most common cause ofacquired heart disease in children in developed
countries. Coronary artery aneurysms develop in 15% to 25%
of untreated children and may lead to ischemic heartdisease or sudden death.

Principalclinical features for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease
1-Fever persisting at least 5 days
2-Changes in extremities:
a-Erythema of palms and soles; edema of hands and feet
b-Periungual peeling of fingers and toes in weeks 2 and 3
3-Polymorphous exanthema. Rash which may take many forms, but not
vesicular (blister-like), on the trunk.4-Bilateral conjunctival injection without exudate, also known as "conjunctival
injection.
5-Changes in the lips and oral cavity. Strawberry tongue, white coating on the
tongue or prominent red bumps (papillae) on the back of the tongue
6-Cervical lymphadenopathy (

Cardiovascular system involvement in Kawasakis
syndrom is the most significant long termsequellae, like:
coronary artery aneurysm
myocardial dysfunction
pericardial effusion
mitral and aortic valve involvement
atrio-ventricular block etc.

Materials and Methodes.
All the children infected by Kawasakis syndrom
hospitalised in our pediatric hospital are
enrolled in this study.
Clinical features, physical examination,laboratory tests including CRP,ESR, hematocrit,
thrombocit, electrocardiograme, chest X-ray and
especially echocardiograme were analyzed forall patients.

A coronary artery is classified as abnormal if:
the internal diameter is greater than 3mm in
children younger than 5 years or 4mm inchildren 5 years of age or older,
the coronary artery lumen is irregular.

All patients with Kawasakis syndrom were
treated with immunoglobulin for 5 days
associated with aspirin.

For all patients the first cardiac examination
was made in the first 10 days of the illness.
Patients with cardiac touch was systematicallysearched every 2 weeks during the first 2
months and then every 3 months during the
first year after disease.

Results
13 children were hospitalised with Kawasakis
syndrom during the periode January 2000-
December 2008.
The mean age 2.8 years (range 11months-5years) 8 male, 5 female.
2 patients (age 2 years male and 4 years -
female) were diagnosed with left ventriculardysfunction with cardiomegaly (FS=23% and
24%).

1patient (age 11months-male) had a small
aneurysm fusiform of the right coronary artery.
We have not had any case myocarditis andpericarditis with or without effusion, or AV
block.

Left ventricular function was normalizedafter 4-5 weeks and the aneurism after 3
months.
We have used expect immunoglobulin,aspirin for 2 cases with left ventricular
dysfunction for about 3 months and in
case with aneurism of the coronary for 6
months after the onset of disease.

Conclusion
Cardiovascular involvement is the most serious
complication of Kawasakis Disease;
the most frequent left ventricular
dysfunction and aneurism of the coronary
artery.
