Characteristics	KD patients	Healthy controls	value
Age (years)		2.3 ± 2.1	0.89
Sex (male/female)	60/42	45/35	0.13
Hb (mg/dL)	13.7 ± 1.6	13.8 ± 1.7	0.88
Peripheral WBC (10^4 mm^3)	1.3 ± 0.2	1.0 ± 0.25	0.008

The data were presented as the mean ± SD or −/−; KD: Kawasaki disease; Hb: hemoglobin; WBC: white blood cell; ANC: absolute neutrophil count; hs-CRP: highly sensitive C-reactive protein; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; unpaired -test; Fisher’s exact test.
