Lymph Node Syndrome

Acute hydrops of the gallbladder is described in four patients who had mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. Diagnosis was readily made with grayscale ultrasound, and the patients were followed with this technique. The gallbladder returned to normal size in all of the patients within 15 days, and none of the patients needed surgery. The role of surgery in acute hydrops of the gallbladder is for the complications of the hydrops and not for distension alone.

Lymph Node Syndrome

Kawasaki disease (KD) or Mucocutaneous Lymph node Syndrome is a systemic vasculitis, which mainly affects children under five years of age with Asian descent, but can also reach other age groups, as well as any other breed. The clinical picture of KD has three stages: acute febrile stage, in which conjunctival congestion, oral mucositis, erythema, flaking, polymorphic rash and laterocervical lymphadenopathy, appear as main symptoms; the subacute stage, which occurs at the end of fever, and leads to the appearance of skin flaking in the limbs, arthritis, arthralgia and thrombocytosis and finally the stage of convalescence that arises when symptoms are almost dissipating and continues until their normalization. The most used treatment occurs from the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin, which for better prognosis of the pathology should be initiated early.
