What are the effects of misdiagnosing Kawasaki disease and receiving intravenous immunoglobulin?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I take medicine to control it regularly, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. I'm asking, what are the effects of being misdiagnosed with Kawasaki disease and receiving intravenous immunoglobulin?

Doctor's answer:

The gamma globulin contains various antibodies present in healthy human serum, thereby enhancing the body's resistance and providing some preventive effects against infections. Gamma globulin can prevent the transmission of viral diseases such as measles, prevent infectious hepatitis, and can also treat congenital hypogammaglobulinemia. When used in conjunction with antibiotics, it can reduce the efficacy against certain severe bacterial and viral infections. Anesthesia globulin is a form of passive immunity, so after receiving anesthesia gamma globulin, as long as there is no allergic reaction, there is no significant impact.
