Short-term improvement in lung function was observed in 5 of 6 lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) who were treated with oral azithromycin. We assessed the long-term effect (mean duration 10 months) of treatment with oral azithromycin in 11 lung transplant recipients with BOS. Mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was 40 +/- 9% at initiation of azithromycin treatment, 39 +/- 10% after 1 month, 39 +/- 12% after 4 months, 38 +/- 10% after 7 months and 38 +/- 10% after 10 months, respectively (statistically non-significant for all data). We conclude that long-term administration with oral azithromycin does not reverse BOS in lung transplant recipients, but may slow progression of the disease.
在6例患有闭塞性细支气管炎综合征(BOS)的肺移植受者中,有5例接受口服阿奇霉素治疗后肺功能出现短期改善。我们评估了11例患有BOS的肺移植受者接受口服阿奇霉素治疗的长期效果(平均持续时间10个月)。在开始阿奇霉素治疗时,第1秒用力呼气量(FEV1)平均为40±9%,1个月后为39±10%,4个月后为39±12%,7个月后为38±10%,10个月后为38±10%(所有数据在统计学上均无显著差异)。我们得出结论,长期口服阿奇霉素并不能逆转肺移植受者的BOS,但可能会减缓疾病进展。
