Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnostic and prognostic significances of platelet parameters changes in Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods The platelet total(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and plateletcrit(PCT)were measured in 23 cases of KD on acute febrile phase and early recovery phase.It was compared with 33 cases suffered from other febrile diseases during the same period and in similar ages.Each KD child should accept the cardiology ultrasonic examination.Results The level of PLT,PCT increased in KD patients.It was more significant in early recover period than in acute febrile period(P0.05).PLT negatively correlated with MPV,PDW(r=0.358,0.268 Pa0.05).Conclusions The changes of platelet parameter play a very important role in diagnosis of KD.But it still can not be certain that whether the changes can help us estimate the variety of the patients condition and prognosis of KD children.It requires further study.
