Viral load of Torquetenovirus correlates with Sano’s score and levels of total bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase in Kawasaki disease

Viral load of Torquetenovirus correlates with Sano’s score and levels of total bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase in Kawasaki disease

Abstract Cause of Kawasaki disease (KD) is unknown. KD is often resistant to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Sano’s score, which is derived from total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and C-reactive protein (CRP), is predictive of IVIG resistance in Japan. A recen...
