Macrolide therapy in asthma: limited treatment, long-term improvement.
As part of their interesting review of long-term macrolide therapy in chronic inflammatory airway diseases, CROSBIE and WOODHEAD [1] cite eight randomised double-blind placebocontrolled trials of macrolide therapy in asthma. Most were small, and all were short-term (none .12 weeks). Some positive effects were noted; mechanisms proffered included both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial (includi...
متن کاملAzithromycin inhibits nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae-induced MUC5AC expression and secretion via inhibition of activator protein-1 in human airway epithelial cells.
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is one of the most common pathogens in chronic airway infections and exacerbation. The hallmark of chronic respiratory diseases, including cystic fibrosis, diffuse panbronchiolitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is mucin overproduction. Prolonged macrolide antibiotic therapy at low doses is known to improve clinical outcome in patients with ...
متن کاملMacrolide therapy decreases chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Macrolide antibiotics have anti-inflammatory effects, and long-term administration may reduce chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of long-term treatment of macrolide therapy for COPD. METHODS We searched the PubMed and Embase databases to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effect of macrolide thera...
متن کاملInfluence of macrolide maintenance therapy and bacterial colonisation on exacerbation frequency and progression of COPD (COLUMBUS): Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by progressive development of airflow limitation that is poorly reversible. Because of a poor understanding of COPD pathogenesis, treatment is mostly symptomatic and new therapeutic strategies are limited. There is a direct relationship between the severity of the disease and the intensity of the inflammatory response. Bes...
متن کاملClinical application of expectorant therapy in chronic inflammatory airway diseases (Review)
Airway mucus hypersecretion is a significant clinical and pathological feature of chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Its clinical presentations include recurrent coughing and phlegm. Airway mucus is closely associated with the occurrence, development and prognosis of chronic inflammatory airway diseases and critically affects the lung function, quality of life, hospitalization rate and morta...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory effects of macrolide antibiotics - part 2: advantages and disadvantages of long-term, low-dose macrolide therapy.
The available evidence for long-term, low-dose treatment with 14- and 15-membered ring macrolides in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis, COPD, chronic sinusitis, and asthma is reviewed with special attention to possible adverse effects and the emergence of resistance during long-term macrolide treatment. Macrolide maintenance therapy has been proven to be of benefit in diffuse panbronchiol...
