متن کاملThe Efficacy and Safety of High-Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin in the Treatment of Kawasaki Disease: How Can We Predict Resistance to Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment of Kawasaki Disease?
Intravenous immunoglobulin Furusho et al.1) first administered high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) in the early 1980s. This trial was inspired by the report that high-dose IVIG therapy was very effective for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura2) and that its potential mechanism of action was immunomodulation. At that time, Furusho et al.1) suggeste...
