Enhancing airway function and resolving mucus plugs: a case study on dupilumab treatment
In the context of severe asthma, one of the causes of poor disease control has been identified in mucus plugs, which are real obstacles to the physiological flow of air in the bronchi. This clinical case will present the efficacy of dupilumab, as measured by respiratory function and chest computed tomography (CT) imaging, in reducing mucus plugs with consequent improvement in symptoms and function.
