Primary treatment of incomplete Kawasaki disease with infliximab and methylprednisolone in a patient with a contraindication to intravenous immune globulin.

Incomplete Kawasaki disease was diagnosed in a 3-year-old boy. Because intravenous immune globulin infusion was not tolerated, he was treated with infliximab and methylprednisolone. Coronary aneurysms were not visualized on initial or follow-up echocardiograms. To our knowledge, this is the first report to document the use of infliximab and methylprednisolone as first line therapy for Kawasaki disease.
