Li Yan, Wu Xindan, Wang Xianmin, et al. Effects of Bacterial Infection on Prognosis of Kawasaki Disease[J]. 2020,26(11):8-12. DOI: 10.13407/j.cnki.jpp.1672-108X.2020.11.003.
and prognosis of children with Kawasaki disease (KD) complicated with bacteria. Methods: Totally 299 children with KD admitted into Dec. 2015 to Jun. 2018 were extracted as the research objectives. According to whether there was bacterial infection after admission
the patients were divided into the non-infection group (n=150) and infection group (n=149). The clinical data of two groups were statistically analyzed
including age
gender
duration of fever
coronary aneurysm
blood and biochemical indicators. Results: There was statistically significant difference in age between two groups (t=3.106
P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender between two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in duration of fever before intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration between two groups (P>0.05)
and the difference in average length of stay was statistically significant (t=2.049
P<0.05). The percentage of incomplete KD and percentage of coronary aneurysms in two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of refractory KD between two groups (χ2=7.153
P<0.05). White blood cell count (t=2.663
P<0.05)
C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (t=2.059
P<0.05) and proportion of aseptic purulence (χ2=33.173
P<0.05) increased significantly in the infection group. There were no statistically significant differences in hemoglobin
CRP
platelet count
alanine aminotransferase and N-terminal precursor brain natriuretic peptide levels between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: There are some cases of bacterial infection in children with KD
which are more common in infants. Bacterial infection may be related to the incidence of IVIG unresponsive KD
but it has no significant effect on the incidence of coronary aneurysms in children with KD. For these children
a full course of antibiotics should be given at an early stage during the treatment of large dose of IVIG.
