Kawasaki disease hazard to children
Kawasaki disease is a kind of vasculitis syndrome, also known as lymphatic node mucosal skin syndrome, occurs in children aged 2-4, boys. In recent years, the incidence rate has increased. Kawasaki disease is the greatest damage against coronary artery, coronary artery disease is the main reason children, but also adults in the potential risk factors for coronary heart disease. July through September in China to more incidence, therefore, at the turn of summer, the parents should be particularly vigilant in Kawasaki disease in infants. Children in general are more prior to the onset of upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, such as precursor. Sustained high fever and no rebate 1-2 weeks, eyes bulbar conjunctival hyperemia, lips Chapped Nipple hemorrhage, congestive oral mucosa, tongue-shaped surface seems Yangmei, a form of diversification body rash, edema flushing and hand-foot-rigid cervical lymphadenopathy. The symptoms persisted, in the fingers and toes along the terminal at the junction of a nail and skin characteristics of the membrane-like peeling, can also be found around the anus peeling. Some children with Kawasaki disease can be complicated by heart, brain, liver, lung, kidney and other organ damage, of which the most prominent cardiovascular damage, mostly occurred in 2-3 weeks after onset, sustainable few months to several years. Kawasaki disease complicated by the type of cardiovascular damage, including coronary artery aneurysms, coronary artery dilatation, such as coronary artery stenosis or occlusion. Aneurysms can be single or multiple, mostly in the 1-2 years can be dissipated, but local wall fibrosis can be prompted intimal hyperplasia, leading to coronary not effective expansion, can be a serious thrombosis, and vascular stenosis and occlusion myocardial infarction , can lead to serious cardiac ischemic symptoms or develop into ischemic heart disease, died of Kawasaki disease is the main reason. Kawasaki disease hazards so large, so when children develop fever with rash, mucosal damage and enlarged lymph nodes and other symptoms, the parents should be timely children to hospital. Because the reasons for the cause of Kawasaki disease is not very clear, it has not prevent the incidence of good practices, but because the majority of patients had prior to the onset of upper respiratory tract infection, therefore, at the turn of the summer and fall, and should be avoided whenever possible upper respiratory tract infection. Kawasaki disease in children with or without coronary artery disease should pay attention to diet and reasonable, as far as possible avoid the occurrence of hyperlipidemia and hypertension, to reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease when they grow up and dangerous. In addition, children with Kawasaki disease over, again incidence rate of 1% -3%, it can not be taken lightly. Usually less attention should be paid to avoid recurrence of a cold.
