Popis: In Kawasaki disease patients, increases in excretion of urinary neopterin coincided with fever and monocytosis in peripheral blood. We examined the products of neopterin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and Interleukin-1 β (1L-1β) from healthy adult macrophages/monocytes (Mφ>/M), after stimulation with several activators to obtain some understanding of Kawasaki disease.
