A 14-year-old boy with severe asthma was treated with prednisone and disodium cromoglycate with considerable subjective improvement, though there was persistent airways obstruction. After several weeks' freedom from symptoms he died in a severe attack of nocturnal asthma. Necropsy findings suggested that hypersecretion had been occurring in die medium-sized airways for several days before death.
一名14岁重度哮喘男孩接受了泼尼松和色甘酸钠治疗，主观症状有显著改善，尽管气道阻塞仍然存在。在数周无症状后，他死于一次严重的夜间哮喘发作。尸检结果表明，在死亡前数天，中型气道内一直存在分泌亢进。
