Platelet vascular endothelial growth factor is a useful predictor for prognosis in Kawasaki syndrome
British Journal of Haematology, 10/06/09

Ueno K et al. – Kawasaki syndrome (KS) is an acute febrile vasculitis of childhood. Coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) are a significant problem in KS patients. High dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is effective for reducing the occurrence of CAA. The findings demonstrate that platelet VEGF may reflect the severity of vasculitis related to the pathological development of CAA in KS. Platelet VEGF may be an important feature of KS pathophysiology.
