Abstract

This article reports a case of incomplete Kawasaki disease with no response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). A girl, aged 1 year, had the symptoms of fever, rash, finger desquamation, and coronary artery ectasia. She still had fever at 36 hours after the first dose of IVIG treatment, and her temperature returned to normal after the second dose of IVIG treatment. The follow-up after 1 month showed that the coronary artery diameter returned to normal. This article summarizes the experience in the treatment of incomplete Kawasaki disease with no response to IVIG in order to reduce the incidence of coronary artery damage.

Key words
