Abstract:

Objective

To analyze a case of Kawasaki disease complicated with cholestasis and aseptic meningitis, and to raise the attention to the rare complications of Kawasaki disease.

Methods

The clinical data, diagnosis and treatment process and prognosis of a child with Kawasaki disease complicated with cholestasis and aseptic meningitis admitted to Xi’an Children’s Hospital on August 9th 2021 were analyzed, retrospectively.

Results

After admission, blood cell analysis showed that leukocytes (25.12 × 109/L) increased, neutrophil ratio 85.6%, C-reactive protein (CRP) 159 mg/L, ESR 77 mm/h, total bilirubin (150.3 μmol/L) and direct bilirubin (117.4 μmol/L) increased significantly, alanine aminotransferase (78 IU/L) and aspartate aminotransferase (68 IU/L) increased slightly, total bile acids (143 μmol/L) increased. Abdominal CT showed a significant increase in the volume of gallbladder and no significant expansion of bile duct. Echocardiography showed bilateral coronary artery dilatation. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed that the pressure increased slightly, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology, sugar and chloride were normal. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) were normal. The patient was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease with cholestasis and aseptic meningitis. After treatment with intravenous gamma globulin 2 g/kg for anti-inflammation, aspirin and dipyridamole anticoagulation and inhibition of platelet aggregation, ademetionine for promoting jaundice regression, mannitol for cranial pressure reduction, the temperature returned normal, jaundice subsided, and his spirit was normal. After reexamination, all indicators recovered to normal without sequelae.

Conclusions

Kawasaki disease complicated with cholestasis and aseptic meningitis is rare, which is easy to be misdiagnosed and delayed to receive treatment. Therefore, clinicians are reminded to be alert to Kawasaki disease for children with cholestasis and/or aseptic meningitis and unexplained fever for longer than 5 days. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can reduce the complications of Kawasaki disease.
