Abstract:
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vascular inflammatory lesion in children with acute febrile rash illness. The inci-dence rate in recent years is increasing. The traditional treatment in some patients is ineffective, and KD has high incidence of cardiovas-cular complications. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate therapy for KD is an urgent. With the continuous advance of biomedical and pharmacologically research, many biological agents were developed. The traditional treatment has been gradually replaced by the new biological agents which achieved the desired results. Thus this paper reviewed several common biological agents in the clinical treatment of KD.
