Mepolizumab injections administered once monthly as an adjunctive treatment for recalcitrant AFRS patients with asthma appear to significantly reduce endoscopic signs of inflammation, patient-reported symptomatology and serum eosinophil levels. Patients with evidence of more severe endoscopic inflammation appear to benefit the most. Adjunctive treatment with mepolizumab does not reduce the need for prednisone rescues.
