We report on pediatric patient with clinical and laboratory evidence of pancreatitis at onset of atypical Kawasaki disease (KD). In KD pancreatic inflammation was described previously, but clinical pancreatitis was rarely reported and its true incidence is unknown.In febrile pediatric patients suspected to have KD, but not fulfilling classical diagnostic criteria, signs of pancreatic inflammation may help in making correct diagnosis. Further analysis of cases with atypical KD developing pancreatitis may reveal if signs of pancreatic inflammation can be used as supportive diagnostic finding.
我们报告了一例儿科患者,其在非典型川崎病(KD)发病时出现胰腺炎的临床和实验室证据。此前已有 KD 患者胰腺炎症的描述,但临床胰腺炎很少报道,其真实发病率尚不清楚。在疑似 KD 的发热儿科患者中,虽然尚未达到经典诊断标准,但胰腺炎症的迹象可能有助于做出正确诊断。进一步分析发生胰腺炎的非典型 KD 病例,可能会发现胰腺炎症的迹象是否可以作为辅助诊断发现。
