A simple marker in supporting the diagnosis of the incomplete Kawasaki disease: Red cell distribution width
Abstract
Aim: To assess whether red cell distribution width (RDW)
would be a useful laboratory marker for Kawasaki disease (KD), particularly its
incomplete form (iKD).
Patients
and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of cases
diagnosed with Kawasaki disease.
Results: The number of the cases with KD and controls were 67
and 69, respectively. RDW values were significantly higher in patients with KD
compared to controls. When clinical and
laboratory findings of complete and incomplete Kawasaki disease patients were
compared, age at diagnosis was significantly lower and RDW values were
significantly higher in patients with iKD.
Conclusion: Our results showed that elevated RDW levels can be
used as a simple, inexpensive laboratory marker in supporting the diagnosis of
iKD.
