RESULTS: Children with concomitant infection were more likely to have fever 48 hours after initial IVIG treatment (36% vs 20%, p = 0.05) and to be treated with a second dose (33% vs 18%, p = 0.04). Children with concurrent infection had higher rates of IVIG resistance (19 (33%) versus 17 (18%) patients, p = 0.04), and higher temperature at 48 hours (Fig 1) . In this retrospective series, the presence of a concomitant infection was associated with a higher rate of resistance to IVIG treatment. In this study, patients with concomitant infection had a higher rate of resistance to IVIG treatment. ./cache/cord-253056-765rs3e7.txt ./txt/cord-253056-765rs3e7.txt
