    Rationale: A. Kawasaki disease is treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and high-dose aspirin to reduce inflammation and prevent coronary artery complications. B. Fever in Kawasaki disease does not respond to antibiotics because it is not caused by a bacterial infection. C. The principal area of involvement is the coronary arteries, not the joints, although joint pain may occur. D. Aspirin is not contraindicated; it is an essential part of therapy for its anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet effects.
