Hematological parameters of these patients are shown in Table 1. Of these patients, 18 (48.6%) had thrombocytosis. Seventeen (45.9%) patients had normal thrombocyte levels and 2 patients (5.4%) had thrombocytopenia in the acute phase of the disease. In total, 15 (40%) patients had coronary artery aneurysm at diagnosis, including both of the 2 thrombocytopenic patients. The patients with aneurysm (Group 1) had lower hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and higher WBC counts than the patients without aneurysm (Group 2). Patients with WBC counts above 15.85x109/L were found to have increased coronary artery aneurysm risk of up to 6.6-fold (95% CI: 1.5-29.6), with a sensitivity of 71.4% and a specificity of 27.3%. Hemoglobin levels under 10.6 g/dL at presentation were found to increase the coronary artery aneurysm risk by up to 4.5-fold (95% CI: 1.0-19.4) with a sensitivity of 57.1% and a specificity of 23.8% , while hematocrit levels under 30.2 g/dL increased the coronary artery aneurysm risk 4.2-fold (95% CI: 0.919.2) with a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 19%. In the past, thrombocytosis was thought to be essential for the diagnosis of KD, and in the presence of thrombocytopenia, investigation of another diagnosis was recommended. However, in the past few years, this view has changed. Thrombocytopenia can be seen as a rare finding in KD and may be reported to be present in the acute phase of the disease, usually on days 5-12, disappearing within 3-4 days [4].
