We compared 11 patients with KD with adenovirus and 147 patients with isolated adenoviral infection. Table 2 showed the comparison of clinical and laboratory variables between the 2 groups. In patients with KD with adenovirus detection, the median fever dura tion was 6 days and was not different from isolated adenoviral infec tion group (P=0.356). Regarding the clinical features of KD, lip and tongue changes and skin rash and changes in extremities were more frequently demonstrated in the KD with adenoviral detection group than the adenoviral infection group (81.8% vs. 15.6%, P< 0.001 in lip and tongue changes; 72.7% vs. 36.7%, P=0.007 in skin rash; 63.6% vs. 10.2%, P=0.001 in changes in extremities). We also compared the differences in laboratory parameters between the 2 groups. There were significant differences in CRP (67. 5 Table 3 ).
