Human adenovirus infection in Kawasaki disease: a confounding bystander?
BACKGROUND Human adenovirus (HAdV) infection mimics Kawasaki disease (KD) but can also be detected in KD patients. Evidence suggests that HAdV-C species can persist in pediatric adenoids and/or tonsils. We sought to determine (1) the frequency of HAdV detection by real-time polymerase chain reaction in KD patients, (2) the differences in HAdV semiquantitative nasopharyngeal viral loads between ...
متن کاملSimultaneous development of Kawasaki disease following acute human adenovirus infection in monozygotic twins: A case report
BACKGROUND The etiology of Kawasaki disease (KD) remains unknown. However, many studies have suggested that specific genetic factors and/or some infectious agents underlie the onset of KD. Previous studies have suggested that human adenovirus (HAdV) is one of the triggering pathogens of KD. Here, we report monozygotic twin boys who sequentially developed KD in conjunction with acute HAdV type 3...
متن کاملIncomplete and atypical presentation of Kawasaki Disease: A report of five cases
Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis mainly affecting children, with two types of presentation, namely, typical and atypical. It is the most critical cause of coronary artery complications and if not treated on time and appropriately, complications may occur in up to 25% of the patients will get. Patients: This study reports five rare cases of incomplete KD Who has...
متن کاملAtypical Kawasaki Disease Presenting with Hemiparesis and Aphasia: A Case Report
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory vasculitis. KD is classified into two groups based on clinical characteristics criteria, namely classic and incomplete. Cerebral vascular abnormality, especially arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is very rare and unusual in KD. Here, we report a 4-year-old boy who was referred to our tertiary pediatric center with abrupt right hemiparesis and aphasia. At ad...
متن کاملMolecular Investigation of the Human Adenovirus in Retinoblastoma Patients
Background and Aims: Retinoblastoma tumors are the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood, leading to death after two years. The Human Adenovirus (HAdV) infection could be critical in the retinoblastoma pathogenesis due to the virus and retinoblastoma 1 interactions. The objective of the current study was to investigate the possible presence of the HAdV genome in the retinoblastoma pat...
