Abstract

Omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, and dupilumab are the currently available biologics used to treat asthma in Japan. Anaphylaxis following treatment with mepolizumab or benralizumab is considered rare. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with severe asthma, who experienced anaphylaxis following the administration of benralizumab, mepolizumab, and omalizumab, separately. The therapy with biologics was chosen to avoid the repeated use of systemic corticosteroids for asthma exacerbations. The mechanisms underlying anaphylaxis caused by these three biologics remain unclear. The patient's asthma symptoms and lung function improved after treatment with bronchial thermoplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an asthmatic patient developing anaphylaxis after commencement of benralizumab, mepolizumab, and omalizumab therapy. These three biologics should be administered carefully, and patients should be monitored for anaphylaxis.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
