Kimura disease (KD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. KD has many complications associated with hypereosinophilia, including various forms of allergic reactions and eosinophilic lung disease. Additionally, hypereosinophilia is associated with hypercoagulability, which may lead to thromboembolic events. A 36-year-old man with KD presented with acute limb ischemia and coronary artery occlusion. He underwent thrombectomy, partial endarterectomy of both popliteal arteries, and coronary artery stent insertion. KD is a systemic disease that affects many organs and presents with thromboembolism and vasculitis. In a patient with KD, physicians should evaluate the vascular system, including the coronary arteries.
木村病(KD)是一种病因不明的免疫介导性慢性炎症性疾病。KD有许多与嗜酸性粒细胞增多相关的并发症,包括各种形式的过敏反应和嗜酸性粒细胞性肺病。此外,嗜酸性粒细胞增多与高凝状态有关,这可能导致血栓栓塞事件。一名患有KD的36岁男性出现急性肢体缺血和冠状动脉闭塞。他接受了血栓切除术、双侧腘动脉部分内膜切除术和冠状动脉支架置入术。KD是一种影响多个器官的全身性疾病,可表现为血栓栓塞和血管炎。对于KD患者,医生应评估包括冠状动脉在内的血管系统。
