We report a case of a previously healthy three-month-old girl who presented with acute fever, watery diarrhea, and right upper abdominal guarding. Abdominal ultrasonography findings were compatible with acute acalculous cholecystitis. Initially, antibiotics were administered for a total of eight days without improvement. Hence, atypical Kawasaki disease (KD) was suspected despite the absence of classical disease manifestations and her uncommon age. The diagnosis was made using alternative diagnostic criteria and echocardiography. After KD was diagnosed, high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin G and aspirin were administered on day 9 of disease onset. Her clinical condition significantly improved within 24 hours, and she recovered well without complications during the 1.5 years of follow-up.
我们报告一例既往健康的三个月大女童,她出现急性发热、水样腹泻及右上腹压痛。腹部超声检查结果符合急性非结石性胆囊炎。起初,给予抗生素治疗共八天,病情无改善。因此,尽管缺乏典型的疾病表现且年龄不常见,但仍怀疑为非典型川崎病(KD)。采用替代诊断标准及超声心动图进行诊断。确诊KD后,在发病第9天给予大剂量静脉注射免疫球蛋白G及阿司匹林。其临床状况在24小时内显著改善,在1.5年的随访期间恢复良好,未出现并发症。
