Abstract

A child with aggressive and resistant Kawasaki disease with coronary aneurysm is described. Despite two doses of immune globulin and high dose of aspirin the patient was treated with the third dose of immune globulin. The patient apparently responded to normalization of symptoms and signs, with no more progression of coronary artery abnormalities.
