Influence of the diagnosis chronic rhinosinusitis on asthma response to omalizumab in severe, uncontrolled asthmatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Omalizumab is a humanized anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) monoclonal antibody that has been approved as add-on therapy for the treatment of adults with moderate-tosevere (United States) or severe (Europe) allergic asthma, inadequately controlled after treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting b-agonists. The clinical efficacy of Omalizumab has not only been shown in the treatment of severe uncontrolled asthma, but also in the treatment of nasal polyposis and comorbid asthma. The aim of this analysis was to examine whether the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) influenced the asthma response to Omalizumab treatment.

متن کاملPediatric severe asthma: a case series report and perspectives on anti-IgE treatment
BACKGROUND The primary goal of asthma management is to achieve disease control for reducing the risk of future exacerbations and progressive loss of lung function. Asthma not responding to treatment may result in significant morbidity. In many children with uncontrolled symptoms, the diagnosis of asthma may be wrong or adherence to treatment may be poor. It is then crucial to distinguish these ...
متن کاملImpact of chronic rhinosinusitis on severe asthma patients
Coexistence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with asthma appears to impair asthma control. Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) respond to the cytokines of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-25 and IL-33, thus contributing to airway diseases such as CRS and asthma. We investigate whether the augmented Th2-cytokines in CRS might be related to sinonasal tract ILC2s corresponding...
متن کاملThe role of rhinosinusitis in severe asthma
The prevalence of asthma is approximately 5% to 10% in the general population. Of these, approximately 5% to 10% are severe asthmatics who respond poorly to asthmatic drugs, including high-dose inhaled steroids. Severe asthmatics have persistent symptoms, frequent symptom exacerbation, and severe airway obstruction even when taking high-dose inhaled steroids. The medical costs of treating sever...
