Overview of the New Japanese Guideline2012 for the Medical Treatment of Acute Stage of Kawasaki Disease

Abstract

In the research of the treatment of acute stage of Kawasaki disease, only small case series of initial treatment were reported in decades ago. However recently, more reliable results with high-evidenced outcomes from well-designed and with high quality clinical trials like RAISE study have been increasingly reported. We here introduce the revised guideline of the medical treatment of acute phase of KD in 2012 (KDGL 2012), organized by the Japanese Society of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (Pediatr Int 56:135–58, 2014).
