Implication

Clinical case details rapid coronary artery dilation and aneurysm formation in an infant with Kawasaki disease, suggesting urgent intervention is critical.

Key Points

To highlight the rapid progression of coronary artery abnormalities in an infant with Kawasaki disease.
Case presentation of a 3-month-old infant with Kawasaki disease
Treatment included intravenous immunoglobulin, steroids, and anticoagulation
Serial echocardiography and CT angiography were performed to monitor coronary artery changes.
Initial echocardiography showed CA dilation with LAD at 5.11 mm (z score: 13.7).
After treatment, repeat echocardiography indicated worsening CA dilation with LAD at 6.58 mm (z score: 18.3).
CT angiography confirmed giant aneurysms with LAD at 6.92 mm (z score 19.3) after three weeks.
