  • Title: [Methylprednisolone pulse therapy combined with plasmapheresis in the treatment of bronchial asthma patients].
    Author: Tatarskiĭ AR, Cheglakova TA, Bobkov EV.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1995; 67(6):30-2. PubMed ID: 7667776.
    Abstract:
    16 patients with bronchial asthma received pulse methylprednisolone and underwent plasmapheresis versus 6 controls on pulse-therapy alone. In the study group the response was universal, remission lasted 6-8 months. Clinical stabilization in the controls was much shorter. The above combination reduced depressive effect of methylprednisolone on production of glucocorticosteroid receptors of peripheral blood lymphocytes and endogenic hydrocortisone, IgE and circulating immune complexes.
