Popis: We performed brain magnetic resonance imaging in 14 patients with Kawasaki disease who were treated with infliximab (IFX) at 56 months of age (32-62 months of age) and 23 months (5-35 months) after IFX therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no finding of the central nervous demyelination. IFX therapy is not related to central nervous demyelination in patients with Kawasaki disease.
