Antibody titers against the superantigen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis-derived mitogen, suggestive of mediating Kawasaki disease-like manifestation in Y. pseudotuberculosis infections, in immunoglobulin products were evaluated. Trace, but detectable titer was demonstrated in the products. Thus, attention is required when evaluating anti-Y. pseudotuberculosis-derived mitogen IgG titers in patient sera post intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
