520 _aABSTRACT: This case report aims to discuss treatment options for Kawasaki Disease. Kawasaki Disease is an acute self-limited vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs predominantly in infants and young children which usually affects the coronary arteries. Intravenous Immunoglobulin together with Aspirin is the gold standard for treatment, failure to have fever cessation leads to Refractory Kawasaki disease which may increase the burden of having coronary artery aneurysm. In cases of Refractory Kawasaki Disease, treatment options such as 2nd dose of IVIG, IV pulse steroids and Infiximab may be used.
