We have described a patient with chronic, severe, steroid-dependent asthma resistant to all forms of anti-inflammatory therapy. Azathioprine alone effectively improved the patient's symptoms and decreased the daily steroid requirements. Further short- and long-term studies are needed to observe the effects of azathioprine in chronic asthma.
我们描述了一位患有慢性、重度、依赖类固醇且对所有形式抗炎治疗均耐药的哮喘患者。单独使用硫唑嘌呤有效改善了患者症状,并降低了每日类固醇需求量。需要进一步进行短期和长期研究以观察硫唑嘌呤在慢性哮喘中的作用。
