Response to Biologic Therapy in Patients with Asthma and Reduced Pulmonary Diffusion Capacity
Our findings suggest that biologic therapy can effectively manage asthma irrespective of DLCO measurements. Thus, reduced DLCO values should not preclude thorough asthma diagnosis and treatment. Further investigation into the utility of DLCO/VA assessment in this context is warranted.
