The diagnostic criteria for Kawasaki disease do not include

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, what are the diagnostic criteria for Kawasaki disease that are not included

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The diagnosis of Kawasaki disease includes:
1. Persistent fever, ineffective treatment with antibiotics;
2. Recurrence of rash, fever subsiding, peeling of palms and soles;
3. Conjunctival congestion;
4. Swollen lymph nodes, joint redness and swelling;
5. Abnormalities in coronary artery dilation observed in echocardiography.
The confirmation of any disease requires a doctor to integrate the patient's symptoms, signs, and relevant test results. Through speculation and elimination of other diseases (such as distinguishing it from pneumonia), a correct diagnosis and treatment plan can be made.
This disease requires proper treatment. Please take your child to the hospital for a follow-up visit promptly.
