The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of platelet-neutrophil aggregates in Kawasaki disease (KD). METHODS AND RESULTS Forty patients with KD (30 intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG] responders and 10 IVIG non-responders),...

BACKGROUND Platelet-dependent thrombosis and leukocyte infiltration into the vessel wall are characteristic cellular events seen in atherosclerosis. METHODS Anticoagulated peripheral venous blood from 1...
