We report on a 7-month-old infant with Kawasaki disease (KD) whose only manifestations were high-grade fever of 7 days duration, "non-toxic look" and "extreme irritability", thereby not meeting the criteria for the classical or the atypical form of the disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by the demonstration of a solitary aneurysm in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. The present case raises the concern that the presently laid guidelines for the diagnosis of atypical KD may not be adequate.
我们报告了一名7个月大患有川崎病(KD)的婴儿,其唯一表现为持续7天的高热、“无中毒貌”和“极度烦躁”,因此不符合该疾病经典型或非典型型的诊断标准。通过在左前降支冠状动脉近端发现一个孤立性动脉瘤确诊。本病例引发了人们对目前制定的非典型KD诊断指南可能不够充分的担忧。
