Abstract
We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who suffered from a severe asthma exacerbation as a consequence of an antithyroid drug treatment prescribed for her multinodular, hyperfunctioning goiter. Asthma symptoms were associated with a very significant increase in the number of eosinophils, detected in both blood and induced sputum.
