Abstract

Purpose : We aimed to evaluate predictive parameters for non-response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) before IVIG use using two controls. Methods : We evaluated 229 consecutive KD patients who were treated with 2 g/kg of IVIG at a single center. Those who had persistent fever >24 hours after IVIG infusion made up the 23 IVIG non-responders; the first control included a total 206 defervesced cases and the second control included 46 cases that were matched for age and pre-treatment fever duration to non-responders. Results : Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar in IVIG non-responders and responders at presentation. As for laboratory findings, the neutrophil differential, CRP, AST, ALT, and LDH were higher, and lymphocyte differential, total protein, albumin, platelet count, and total cholesterol were significantly lower in IVIG non-responders compared to responders by univariate analysis in both study designs. However in multivariate analysis, non-responders showed a significantly higher neutrophil differential (cutoff value, >77%, sensitivity 68.4% and specificity 79.5%) and lower cholesterol (<124 mg/dL, sensitivity 79% and specificity 70.5%). Whereas plasma albumin (<3.6 g/dL, sensitivity 73.7% and specificity 60%) was the sole laboratory parameter of non-responders in the second study design. Conclusion : Severity of inflammation in KD was reflected by higher or lower laboratory values at presentation. Because the multivariate analysis for these indices may be influenced by some confounding factors, including the numbers of patients of different ages and fever duration, other assessment modalities are needed for KD patients with the greatest risk of coronary artery lesions.

목적 : 가와사끼병 환자들에서 정맥용 면역글로불린(intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG) 불응군의 예측 지표를 두 대조군을 사용하여 연구하였다. 방 법 : 가톨릭대학교 대전성모병원에서 IVIG 2 g/kg로 치료한 229명의 가와사끼병 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 23명 IVIG 불응군(IVIG 투여 후에도 24시간 이상 발열이 지속)과, 첫번째 206명의 IVIG 반응군 및 두번째 연령과 치료 전 발열일을 일치시킨 46명의 대조군에 대해 임상적, 검사실 소견을 비교하였다. 결과 : 인구학적, 임상적 소견은 IVIG 불응군과 반응군이 유사하였다. 검사실 소견에서, 두 가지 연구 모두에서 IVIG 불응군은 반응군에 비해서 중성구 분획, CRP, AST, ALT 그리고, LDH는 유의하게 상승되었고, 림프구 분획, 총 단백질, 알부민, 혈소판 수, 그리고 총 콜레스테롤은 유의하게 저하되어 있었다(단변수분석). 그러나, 다변수분석에서 첫번째 연구에서 높은 중성구 분획(cutoff value, >77%, 민감도 68.4%, 특이도 79.5%)과 낮은 총 콜레스테롤(<124 mg/dL, 민감도 79%, 특이도 70.5%)이, 두번째 연구에서는 알부민(<3.6 g/dL, 민감도 73.7%, 특이도 60%)만이 불응군의 예측 지표로 나타났다. 결론 : 가와사끼병에서 염증의 중증도는 발병 시에 상승되거나 저하된 검사실 소견에 반영된다. 이러한 검사실 지표에 대한 다변수분석은 환아수, 연령 및 발열 기간 등의 인자에 의해서 영향을 받으므로, 관상동맥병변의 위험이 큰 가와사끼병 환자들을 찾기 위한 다른 접근 방법이 필요하다.
