Infliximab as the First Retreatment in Patients with Kawasaki Disease Resistant to Initial Intravenous Immunoglobulin.
2016
Abstract Forty-three patients with Kawasaki disease who were resistant to initial intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) were randomized to receive either a second dose of IVIG (n = 32) or an infliximab (n = 11). With IVIG retreatment 21 patients (65.6%) responded, and with infliximab 10 patients (90.9%) responded. The infliximab group had shorter duration of fever and fewer days of hospitalization. Coronary artery outcomes and adverse events were similar.
