Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical significance of the changes of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) in children with incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD). Methods Of 25 cases of acute IKD ,20 cases were at the re-covery stage after 2 weeks treatment. 30 cases of upper respiratory tract infection at the same period were taken as controls. The plasma level of BNP,peripheral blood WBC count and C-reaction protein (CRP) levels were detected. Results BNP, WBC and CRP levels in acute IKD children were higher than that of control group (P < 0.01) , which were higher in 20 cases of acute phase than in recovery phase (P < 0.01). Conclusion BNP contributes to the early diagnosis of IKD in children.
