Background: The dynamics of oxidation/reduction control system activities using reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) in acute stage patients was evaulated to understand the mechanism of vascular injury and remodeling in Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods and Results: ROM, BAP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-1,2,6, and tumour necrosis factor-a in 19 KD patients were measured. ROM decreased in good correlation only with hs-CRP (P < 0.05) at 2 weeks after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Patients were further classified as responding well (Group A) or responding poorly (Group B) to IVIG. Both treatment groups had significantly higher ROM values than the control group (P < 0.01). ROM decreased in Group A both immediately and 2 weeks after the IVIG treatment (P
