Abstract:
Kawasaki disease has been the major etiology of aquired heart problems in children. Mecha-nisms of Kawasaki disease are still unclear in the past years. Some Kawasaki disease patients were not responsive to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. And corticosteroid therapy remains controversial in the treatment of Ka-wasaki disease. A few patients with Kawasaki disease presented severe systemic symptoms,and even died for it. It is difficult to evaluate the severity of coronary artery lesions and prognosis of Kawasaki disease. In this article, we reviewed some new concepts on diagnosis and treatments on Kawasaki disease.
