Abstract

We studied the clinical, biologic (white blood cells, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin) and echocardiographic findings in 18 children hospitalized for Kawasaki disease from January 1999 until February 2006 to determine if procalcitonin is a useful marker to predict coronary aneurysms. In our study, contrary to earlier reports, elevated procalcitonin was not correlated with development of coronary aneurysms.

摘要

我们研究了1999年1月至2006年2月期间因川崎病住院的18名儿童的临床、生物学（白细胞、C反应蛋白和降钙素原）及超声心动图检查结果，以确定降钙素原是否为预测冠状动脉瘤的有用标志物。在我们的研究中，与早期报告相反，降钙素原升高与冠状动脉瘤的发生并无关联。
