Although the standard treatment for Kawasaki disease (KD) is intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) combined with oral aspirin, 18% of 1st IVIG is refractory [1]. Recently, the efficacy of immunomodulatory drugs for IVIG-resistant KD, such as prednisolone, infliximab (IFX), and cyclosporine (CsA), has been reported [2–5]. However, optimal immunomodulatory therapy for IVIG-resistant KD has not yet been established.In this study, we evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of oral CsA (n= 6) compared with IFX (n= 51)(control group, which has different and specific therapeutic targets) for IVIG-resistant KD (Supplementary Fig. 1). All patients were administered two cycles of IVIG (2 g/kg/dose) before treatment. The kinetics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were assessed by flow cytometry according to a previous study [6]. Coronary artery lesions were defined as a Z score of coronary diameters≥+ 2.5, measured by two-dimensional echocardiography 1 month after onset [1, 7]. CsA administration was started on day 9 (9–21) at a dose of 4 mg/kg/day and continued for 11 (7–14) days (Supplementary Table 1). All patients showed complete defervescence after CsA therapy. In the control group, patients received IFX at a dose of 5 mg/kg on day 8 (4–15). There were no significant differences in the
