| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory illness in early childhood. Coronary artery lesion is a serious complication of kawasaki disease. Vitamin D is a hormone that maintains calcium homeostasis and participates in bone metabolism. Another effect have anti-inflammatory effect. We measured serum 25(OH)D levels at acute phase of KD patients. The number of patients with high Gunma score (≧ 5 points) was significantly higher in the initial IVIG non-responders than the responders. Serum 25(OH)D levels in initial IVIG non-responders was lower than that of initial IVIG responders. Vitamin D might decresed IVIG non-responders.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
川崎病発症には, 地域人種差があり世界的にも日本の発症率は高い. 環境因子について検討し川崎病初期治療における反応性にビタミンD濃度が関与している可能性がある. 現代は子供のビタミンD濃度が低いことが多く, ビタミンD補充を行うことで川崎病の治療成績が向上し冠動脈障害発症が低下し医療費削減に貢献する可能性がある.
