| Core Tip |
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with lymphadenitis caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae refractory to macrolide antibiotics. The fever persisted, and the patient did not respond to macrolide (clarithromycin) administered for 72 h. The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, additionally measured to diagnose atypical Kawasaki disease (KD), was 427.2 ng/mL. A slight QT interval prolongation and a dilated right coronary artery were detected. She was finally diagnosed with lymph-node-first presentation of KD. Even if adolescent lymphadenitis with confirmed bacterial or viral infection does not have other symptoms of KD, early measurement of BNP levels can help diagnose KD. |
