As the temperature dropped, colds, fevers, and coughs struck one after another, and many dolls fell down. There is a disease of
, which is also high in this season. Parents must be vigilant. If it is treated as a cold, it is extremely dangerous. It is Kawasaki disease.
Seeing the three words "Kawasaki disease", I believe many parents are also full of question marks: What is this again?
Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS), is an acute febrile rash in children with systemic vasculitis becoming the main pathology. It usually occurs in infants and young children under 5 years old, especially in children from 6 months to 2 years old.
Kawasaki disease itself is not terrible. The terrible thing is that it can cause serious cardiovascular complications. It is the most common cause of coronary aneurysms in children. It is closely related to cardiovascular events such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction in adulthood.
The clinical manifestations of typical Kawasaki disease include:
1, fever lasts more than 5 days, antibiotic treatment is ineffective;
2, polymorphic rash;
3, palm and plantar redness, hard swelling of the fingertips in the acute phase, and membranous peeling during the recovery period;
4, Congestion of the oral mucosa, flushing, chapped lips, red bayberry tongue conjunctiva congestion, no purulent secretions;
5, conjunctival hyperemia, no purulent secretions;
6, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, mostly bilateral, non-suppurative Sex, hard texture.
In recent years, it has been discovered that more and more children do not fully meet the diagnostic criteria of typical Kawasaki disease, which is called incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD).
If the baby has symptoms such as high fever, red eyes, and rash all over the body, antibiotics will not work. Do not take it lightly and check and diagnose in time. The goal of treatment of Kawasaki disease is to reduce inflammation and prevent thrombosis. Standard treatment can reduce the risk of coronary artery abnormalities by 20%.
In addition to Kawasaki disease, there are many diseases, and there are symptoms of fever and rash. Parents should pay attention to learning to distinguish easily.
1, children's acute rash
children's acute rash "favored" babies 6 months to 2 years old, is a very common viral infectious disease, often "heat rash".
The rash usually starts from the face, neck and trunk, and gradually spreads to the limbs. It is basically finished within 24 hours without pain or itching. The rash is rosy and fades under pressure. The rash usually lasts for 1 to 2 days, and a few in 2 Appears briefly within 4 hours and then disappears.
2, scarlet fever
is mainly characterized by diffuse redness of the skin all over the body, showing a "chicken skin rash", a dotted red rash that feels like touching sandpaper, and the patient will feel itching.
Scarlet fever rashes are more common 1 to 2 days after the onset of onset, usually starting from behind the ears, neck, upper chest, and then quickly spread to the upper limbs, and then to the lower limbs; usually 3 to 5 days after the rash begins to shed skin and desquamation (according to the Order).
3, rubella
Rubella occurs mostly in children aged 1 to 5 and is contagious.
Generally, children with fever start to develop a light red rash on the face 1~2 days after fever, which spreads all over the body within 24 hours, but has a large trunk and fewer limbs, and a slight itching sensation; the rash will subside after 2~3 days without leaving a mark Or slight scaling.
4, varicella
varicella rash has an evolutionary process from papules and herpes scabs (papules, blisters, and scabs can exist at the same time); the rash is often densely clothed on the trunk, fewer limbs, fewer fingers and toes.
If your child has symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue, has been exposed to a child with chickenpox recently, or is in a period of high incidence of chickenpox, you must pay attention.
If you are infected with varicella-zoster virus, usually red papules appear on the scalp, face, chest, and back; they quickly become mung bean-sized blisters, which are easy to break, have redness around them, and there may be a umbilical cavity in the center. There is a slight itching or pain.
5, hand, foot and mouth disease
6 months to 5 years old babies are often the key "attack" targets of hand, foot and mouth disease, especially children aged 1 to 2 who have the highest risk of disease.
If you are infected with hand, foot and mouth disease, you will oftenSymptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and sore throat appear.
After 1 to 2 days of fever (no fever in some cases), blisters (small red spots in the initial stage and ulcers formed later) appear on the tongue, gums, inner cheeks and other oral parts, and there is obvious pain.
Most children will have a rash on the palms and soles of the feet (buttocks, knees, elbows, trunks, etc.), generally without itching or pain, and some rashes have blisters.
6, measles
measles virus loves to bully children from 6 months to 5 years old, and it is also contagious. The
rash usually appears from the hairline behind the ears, gradually develops to the neck and face, and then extends to the trunk and limbs; the appearance of the measles is a rash on the palms and soles.
measles will subside in the order of "first out, first out", leaving bran-like desquamation and brown pigmentation.
7, Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (4S syndrome)
This disease often occurs in infants and young children under 6 years of age. It is a severe skin impetigo, often onset rapidly, and there are 1 to 2 days before the rash fever.
rash features: at first, erythema appears around the mouth or eyes, and then quickly spread to the hands, feet, limbs and body; as the disease progresses, the erythema gradually turns into blisters, then a large area (like a scald) sheds, leaving a radial pattern around the mouth Cracks.
Kangaroo has something to say:
raising a baby is not easy, and babies will inevitably encounter various viruses and bacteria as they grow up. Learn more about common diseases and "build" a layer of protection for your baby's health. Hope The cuties can grow up healthily, get less sick and suffer less.
