This report describes the case of two pediatric patients who demonstrated echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease. The etiology of PH development in this setting is currently unknown, but the authors hypothesize that pulmonary vasculitis may play a significant role. Fortunately, the PH appeared to be self-limited and resolved in both cases with routine treatment of Kawasaki disease.
本报告描述了两名儿科患者的病例，他们在川崎病急性期表现出超声心动图证实的肺动脉高压（PH）。在这种情况下PH发生的病因目前尚不清楚，但作者推测肺血管炎可能起重要作用。幸运的是，PH似乎是自限性的，在两例患者中，随着川崎病的常规治疗而得到缓解。
