Analysis of the literature. KD is a common acquired heart disease in children and can lead to severe complications such as coronary injury. However, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) combined with oral aspirin (Asp) is currently recognized as the most effective treatment in KD acute stage and the first-line treatment to prevent cardiovascular complications. Glucocorticoid (GC) is mainly used for KD patients with a high risk of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA), no immunoglobulin response, and confirmed CAA. There are already consensus guidelines on diagnosing and treat ing KD in different countries. This article summarizes the relevant expert consensus on aspirin, glucocorticoids and IVIG for the treatment of Kawasaki disease in China. Conclusion. Still, there are inconsistent opinions in the literature on the mechanism, optimal timing, and dosage of medication for KD.
