Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic channelopathy that may predispose to ventricular arrhythmia. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance. Fever can unmask Brugada syndrome in children who have a genetic predisposition. Kawasaki disease is not known to be associated with Brugada syndrome; however, it may lead to cardiac complications such as coronary artery abnormalities and myocardial inflammation. We report a case of a two-year-old who was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and subsequently developed Brugada syndrome.
布加综合征(BrS)是一种遗传性离子通道病,可能易患室性心律失常。它以常染色体显性模式遗传,具有不完全外显率。发热可使具有遗传易感性的儿童显现出布加综合征。目前已知川崎病与布加综合征无关;然而,它可能导致心脏并发症,如冠状动脉异常和心肌炎症。我们报告一例两岁患儿,其最初被诊断为川崎病,随后发展为布加综合征。
