“…3 Rowley et al postulated that the ethiological agent in KD enters through the respiratory tract stimulating an early Ig A and Ig M immune response, with an IgG response developing later in the disease course. 10 The underlying cause of incomplete KD in the presented case may be the incomplete immune response due to hypogammaglobulinemia. Hypogammaglobulinemia may result in less antibody response involved in pathogenesis of KD which may result in an incomplete clinical presentation and end up with delay in diagnosis and therefore treatment.…”

“…6,7 Pathogenesis is not clear in KD; immune response differs in acute and later phase of the disease. [8][9][10] Possibly, hyperactivation and dysfunction of the immune system triggered by an unknown ethiological agent might cause a subtle clinic resulting in incomplete KD. The course of this more subtle clinical presentation in patients with additional hypogammaglobulinemia (HG) is not defined yet.…”

“…3 Rowley y col., plantearon que el agente et iológ ico de la EK ing resa por las vías respiratorias y estimula una respuesta inmunitaria inicial de las IgA e IgM; la respuesta de las IgG aparece más tarde durante la evolución de la enfermedad. 10 La causa subyacente de la EK incompleta en el caso presentado puede ser la respuesta inmunitaria incompleta debido a la hipogammaglobulinemia. La hipogammaglobulinemia puede disminuir la respuesta inmunitaria relacionada con la patogenia de la EK, lo que puede ocasionar un cuadro clínico incompleto y el retraso en el diagnóstico, y en consecuencia, en el tratamiento.…”

“…6,7 La patogenia de la EK no es clara; la respuesta inmunitaria es diferente en la fase aguda y tardía de la enfermedad. [8][9][10] Posiblemente, la hiperactivación y la disfunción del sistema inmunitario desencadenadas por un agente etiológico desconocido podrían resultar en un cuadro clínico sutil que diera lugar a la EK incompleta. Aún no se ha definido la evolución de este cuadro clínico más sutil en pacientes que además tienen HG.…”

“…The etiology of KD is still unknown, and this theory is very interesting. Furthermore, they reported that IgM plasma cells might take over the IgA function in KD patients complicated by sIgAD 10 . We think that IgM plasma cells may partly complement the function of the IgA; the role of the IgA antibody is very important in the inflammation in KD.…”
