Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 1,418 Kawasaki disease (KD) patients from Latin America treated between 2009 and 2017, comparing those who received only IVIG with those who received adjunctive therapies.
- Most patients were male and hospitalized early, with steroid use being the most common adjunctive treatment for IVIG-resistance, followed by extra doses of IVIG, while biologics like infliximab were rarely used.
- The findings indicate that children receiving adjunctive therapies often had worse indicators, like lower platelet and albumin levels, and highlight the need for further research on treatment barriers in this region.
