Core Tip |
In spite of initial intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment, a significant number of patients are unresponsive to it and are at a higher risk for coronary artery lesions. Corticosteroids have been used as a secondary drug or used in combination with IVIG. There are several options of using corticosteroids for the treatment of patients with Kawasaki disease during the acute phase. A thorough review of the use of corticosteroids in acute phase Kawasaki disease was performed in this paper. |
