Description
Bei Ye, Jiying Xiao, and Caiyun Zhang study blood markers for treatment response in Kawasaki disease in a 2024 paper. The disease affects children, and some do not respond to the standard immune treatment. Markers linked to T cell activation might flag those children early.
Eighty two children were split into responsive and non responsive groups. Several cytokine levels were higher before treatment in the non responsive group. Levels changed differently after treatment between groups. Curve analysis tested how well each marker separated the groups and set cutoff values. The authors argue such markers could guide earlier extra care.
