Question
My baby has been running a fever for several days and was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at the hospital, but after checking the symptoms of Kawasaki disease, there are significant discrepancies; many of the main symptoms are not present. The blood test results show: white blood cell count 22.64, lymphocyte count 8.90, monocyte count 1.36, neutrophil count 11.68, basophil count 0.38, platelet total count 520, platelet aggregation 0.399. The fever is not constant throughout the day but occurs after waking up each day, ranging from 37 to 38 degrees, and last night it reached 39 degrees. What treatment should be sought?
Answer
Kawasaki disease was previously known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome and is a febrile pediatric disease with an acute onset and mostly affects small blood vessels throughout the body (small veins and arteries). If diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, it is important to receive treatment at a regular hospital and regularly check the condition of the coronary arteries. Kawasaki disease is not horrible as terrifying as not being diagnosed accurately, delaying the condition (many children are misdiagnosed with pneumonia or viral influenza), which can lead to dilatation of the coronary artery or aneurysm formation, increasing the difficulty of treatment.Note: This is just a sample answer; we recommend consulting a professional doctor for more accurate advice and treatment options.
