METHOD AND KIT FOR DETECTING KAWASAKI DISEASE

摘要

A method and kit for quickly and simply detecting Kawasaki disease is provided. The method for detecting Kawasaki disease comprises measuring the level of at least one component selected from the group consisting of a lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein, angiotensinogen and retinol-binding protein 4 in a sample originating from a subject. The kit for detecting Kawasaki disease comprises at least one reagent selected from a group consisting of a reagent capable of specifically detecting the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, a reagent capable of specifically detecting leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein, a reagent capable of specifically detecting angiotensinogen and a reagent capable of specifically detecting retinol-binding protein 4.
