بالبداية يجيك plt ⬇️⬇️
بعدين neutropenia
و اخر شي anemia
ال Dx يتم اثباته ب
Lymphocyte chromosomal breakage study
شني علاجة ?
1- mild to moderate hemato. Abnormalities = no need for transfusion
Just follow up by
- periph. Blood count every 3 months
- BM Aspiration every 1 year
- screening for hypothyroid.
- assess solid tumors
2- chromos. Fragility +- targeted genetic study for siblings
3- HSCT
4- ANDROGEN ( Danazol / Oxymetholone )

🛑most important and serious complications of kowalski disease are:
1–aneurysm of coronary arteries (and other arteries)
2–myocarditis and endocarditis
3–gallop rhythm
By ECHOCARDIOGRAM
🛑TX :
1–IVIG for first 10 days of illness (((🛑to reduce risk of aneurysm )))
2–high anti inflammatory dose of aspirin for fever until subside then low anti platelets dose until ECHO study do afrer 6 weeks
If no aneurysm stop aspirin
If aneurysm present give long term warfarin.
3–if fever persists after treatment we shoulde give second IVIG dose
4–if fever and symptoms persist we should give Steroid , infliximab , cyclosporine
