Patient's question:
Currently, in most cases: A fever of about 7 days is diagnosed as Kawasaki disease. Timely medication is administered. Now, blood tests, C-reactive protein, etc., have returned to normal, and there are no abnormalities in the echocardiogram. The platelet count is high at 709. It has been half a month since medication began. Can the platelet count still be reduced after half a month of medication with a count of over 700?Doctor's answer:
You should first understand this disease. Skin, Mucous Membrane, and Lymph Node Syndrome (MCLS), also known as Kawasaki disease, is an acute febrile exanthematous childhood disease with systemic vasculitis as the main pathological feature. Currently, it is believed that Kawasaki disease is an immune-mediated vasculitis. After treatment, the blood routine test showed a normal C-reactive protein level. Color Doppler echocardiography showed no abnormalities. No cardiac complications occurred. Platelet count was elevated. It is recommended to continue medication. Please pay attention to follow-up blood routine tests. It will not affect growth and development.
