Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed the effects of intravenous gamma-globulin (IVGG) re-treatment of 13 children with Kawasaki disease and persistent or recrudescent fever. Fever and mucocutaneous inflammation resolved within 48 hours in nine patients; fever abated in two other children after a third course of IVGG. We conclude that IVGG re-treatment of Kawasaki disease appears to be safe and may improve the clinical course.Entities:
