Abstract  Objective To study the clinical significance of anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in Kawasaki disease (KD) and its complication of coronary arterial lesions (CAL). Methods Forty-two children with KD, as well as 20 children with fever caused by respiratory infection (fever control group) and 15 children for selective operation (normal control group), were included in the study. Serum levels of AECA and ANCA were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Echocardiography was performed to evaluate CAL in KD patients. Results During the acute phase, the KD patients had significantly higher serum AECA and ANCA levels than the two control groups (PPPPr=0.88, PConclusions AECA and ANCA may be involved in vasculitis and CAL among children with KD. Serum levels of AECA and ANCA may be used as indicators for the diagnosis of suspected KD cases in the acute phase. Elevated ANCA level has a certain predictive value for CAL.
