Anti-Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Antibodies Before and After Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy in Kawasaki Disease ― Evidence for a Potentially Protective Role ―
This study highlighted the distinct roles of anti-oxidized LDL and anti-HMGB1 antibodies during the acute phase of KD. The increase in anti-oxidized LDL antibodies following IVIG treatment suggests a protective effect, while the transient nature of anti-HMGB1 antibodies warrants further exploration.
