  • Title: Cerebral infarction after high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Wada Y, Kamei A, Fujii Y, Ishikawa K, Chida S.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2006 Mar; 148(3):399-400. PubMed ID: 16615977.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease developed a cerebral infarction after high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin. Aspirin did not prevent the stroke. Based on the numerous reports of thrombosis due to high-dose immunoglobulin in older individuals, we conclude that it is necessary to be aware of this complication when treating children with Kawasaki disease.
