CT Coronary Angiography Studies After a Mean Follow-up of 3.8 Years in Children With Kawasaki Disease and Spontaneous Defervescence.

There is paucity of literature on follow-up of children with Kawasaki disease (KD) who have spontaneous defervescence during the acute stage and do not receive intravenous immunoglobulin. We report herein the role of computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) as an imaging modality in such situations. This prospective observational study was carried out during the period January 2016-June 2017.

Oral prednisolone for management of persistent hypercalcemia afterhypercalcemic crisis in the Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Hypercalcemia may occur in approximately 15% of children with the Williams-Beuren syndrome. The episodes of hypercalcemic crisis usually respond well to initial hyperhydration, loop diuretics and calcitonin, bisphosphonates, or subsequent dialysis. However, many patients suffer from recurrent or persistent hypercalcemia after the resolution of the hypercalcemic crisis.
