摘要
We report five cases of asthma unmasked by antitumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-blocking drugs. Asthma symptoms appeared within an average of 4 months (range 1-24 months) after starting the anti-TNF-alpha treatment for inflammatory disease. The patients did not appear to be predisposed to asthma except for one patient who had asthma during childhood. Four patients stopped anti-TNF-alpha-blocking drugs with an improvement of symptoms within 1 to 5 months. In the patient with a history of childhood asthma, respiratory symptoms recurred when another anti-TNF-alpha therapy was started. Asthma control was achieved with inhaled steroids, allowing anti-TNF-alpha treatment to continue. The biotherapy was maintained for the fifth patient in association with inhaled steroids. The path-physiologic mechanisms are unknown but are probably more complex than the T helper 1/T helper 2 imbalance suggested in the literature, and further studies are required.
