Despite the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) at a dose of 2 g/kg, approximately 3-5% of children with acute Kawasaki disease (KD) may develop coronary artery aneurysms. IVIg-resistance, defined as recrudescence of fever more than 36 h after IVIg completion, is a risk factor for coronary artery abnormalities. Thus, several adjunctive therapies are being evaluated for use in IVIg-resistant KD patients and in patients with coronary artery abnormalities. In this review the role of some of these adjunctive therapies in treatment of children with KD is discussed.
尽管静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)的剂量为2 g/kg,但约3-5%的急性川崎病(KD)患儿仍可能发生冠状动脉瘤。IVIg抵抗定义为IVIg输注结束后36小时以上仍有发热复发,是冠状动脉异常的一个危险因素。因此,正在评估几种辅助治疗方法用于IVIg抵抗的KD患者和冠状动脉异常患者。在这篇综述中,讨论了其中一些辅助治疗方法在KD患儿治疗中的作用。
