چکیده
Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is a rare inflammatory disorder. We herein report a case of EC in an asthmatic female patient who had a recent exacerbation with none known allergen. She was administered montelukast sodium orally for four weeks and received complete remission. This medication was successfully discontinued after a three-month follow up period. This case report about successful treatment of an adult EC patient using montelukast sodium may provide a new option for EC patients with allergic history.
