Article Synopsis
- Kawasaki disease (KD) is a significant childhood illness that can lead to heart complications, often treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), but some patients resist this treatment, increasing their risk of heart injury.
- This study utilized advanced sequencing techniques to analyze T cells in children with KD before and after IVIG treatment, comparing them to healthy controls to understand the role of dual TCR T lymphocytes.
- Results showed a lower proportion of dual TCR T cells in untreated KD patients, which increased after IVIG treatment, indicating a potential connection between these cells and the disease's response to therapy.
