Treatment of severe complicated Kawasaki disease with oral prednisolone and aspirin

R C Dale et al. J Pediatr. 2000 Nov.

Abstract

We report on 7 patients with severe, complicated Kawasaki disease treated with oral prednisolone, after apparently unsuccessful intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. An additional eighth patient was a Jehovah's Witness, who was given steroid and aspirin as first-line treatment. These findings support a beneficial role for steroids in intravenous immunoglobulin-resistant Kawasaki disease.
