TL;DR: An increase of eosinophils and IL‐5, but not ECP levels after IVIG treatment, was inversely correlated with CAL formation in KD, which is a systemic febrile vasculitis particular coronary artery involvement.
121
The relationship of eosinophilia to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment failure in Kawasaki disease.
TL;DR: Post‐IVIG treatment eosinophilia has an inverse correlation to KD patients with IVig‐resistance and may indicate IVIG‐responsive, and may be a valuable factor to survey for the necessity of a second dose IVIG treatment.
