Title: Treatment of severe complicated Kawasaki disease with oral prednisolone and aspirin. Author: Dale RC, Saleem MA, Daw S, Dillon MJ. Journal: J Pediatr; 2000 Nov; 137(5):723-6. PubMed ID: 11060542. 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.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
