The one-hundred-forty nine children with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome who were

Hospital from July 1977 to January 1989, were investigated for clinical patterns and laboratory ,
correlations.
The results are as follows:
1) Most patients (84.5%) were under 4 years of the age.
2) Boys were more prevalent than girls, as a ratio of 1.9:1.
3) Seasonal incidence was high in May to July and November to December, respectively.
4) The incidence of principal symptoms were fever lasted 8.9±3.7 days (91.3%), bilateral conjun-
ctival injection (87.2%), skin rash (83.9%), changes in extremities (induration of palm and sole 77.9%,
desquamation 73.8%), lip and oral mucosal change (73.8%) and cervical lymphadenopathy (72.5%) in
order.
5) The main laboratory findings observed were positive CRP (97.2%), increased ESR (90.6%),
leukocytosis (83.9%), pyuria (44.3%), thrombocytosis (43.1%), and anemia (40.3%).
6) In 67.8% of the patients, peak thrombocytosis appeared on the 8~13 days after onset of the
disease.
7) Abnormal findings of the heart were found in 35.8% of the patients by ECG and 14% by
echocardiogram, respectively.
8) Enlargement of the gallbladder was detected in 6 (33.3%) of 18 patients on abdominal ultrasono-
gragphy.
9) Among 50 cases assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography, the abnormal findings were
