Abstract

The article focuses on the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in treating conditions like Kawasaki disease and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), highlighting its potential adverse effects including hypothermia, a rare occurrence. It presents cases of two children who developed hypothermia during IVIg infusion, prompting further discussion about this phenomenon, although the exact mechanism behind it remains unclear.
