Abstract
The treatment of asthma is undergoing significant change with an emphasis on anti-inflammatory therapy. While glucocorticoids are the most potent anti-inflammatory agent, certain patients fail to respond. These patients may be candidates for alternative anti-inflammatory therapy, such as troleandomycin, methotrexate, gold, hydroxychloroquine, or dapsone. In addition, the application of immunomodulator therapy, such as intravenous gamma globulin or cyclosporine, may be useful.
