Genome-wide association study identifies FCGR2A as a susceptibility locus for Kawasaki disease.

Chiea Chuen Khor, +117 more
- 01 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The involvement of the FCGR2A locus may have implications for understanding immune activation in Kawasaki disease pathogenesis and the mechanism of response to intravenous immunoglobulin, the only proven therapy for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of prednisolone treatment in severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children

TL;DR: C corticosteroid treatment appeared to be temporally associated with clinical and radiographic improvement, and may be helpful for reducing morbidity in children with macrolide‐nonresponsive severe MP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, and Early Immune-Modulator Therapy

TL;DR: Treatment with early systemic immune modulators (corticosteroids and/or intravenous immunoglobulin) as soon as possible may reduce aberrant immune responses in the potential stage of ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

$Mycoplasma$ $pneumoniae$ pneumonia in children

TL;DR: Early diagnosis of MP pneumonia is limited by the lack of immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodies and variable PCR results in the early stages of the infection, so short-term paired IgM serologic tests may be mandatory for an early and definitive diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The incidence of Kawasaki disease in South Korea increased to 194.7 per 100,000 children younger than 5 years in 2014; meanwhile, the coronary aneurysm rate decreased to 1.7%.
