Predictive Role of IL-2R and IL-10 in the Anti-inflammatory Response and Antiplatelet Therapy of Kawasaki Disease: A Retrospective Study by Chun Zhang, Lun Chen, Sun Chen, Yan Bian, Jia Shen, Peng Zhang, JiaNi Song

“…These results suggested that children with KD who are ≥4 years old may benefit from IVIG but will not benefit from decreased platelet activation or suffer less cardiovascular complications. Additionally, starting clopidogrel usage earlier as an antiplatelet strategy should be considered based on the observed continuous rise in the PLT count in children with KD receiving IVIG. …”
