Abstract:
Kawasaki disease is a systemic inflammation of small and middle vessels,especially coronary artery,which is the main cause of acquired heart disease in children in developing countries.Although the rate of coronary artery damage has been reduced significantly after standard treatment,there are 10％ ～20％ cases with no responsiveness to the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin.This article reviews novel risk factors and treatment advances of intravenous immunoglobulin unresponsiveness in children with Kawasaki disease.
