N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide, Adjuvant Laboratory Marker of Acute Phase of Kawasaki Disease in Emergency Department
Purpose Diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) in emergency department (ED) is sometimes difficult because of unsatisfied diagnostic criteria, especially when febrile days are less than 5 days. Clinical and laboratory features may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis in these cases. N-terminal pro-b...
