説明

We report herein two cases of atopic cough in which Basidiomycetes was detected from pharyngeal swabs and in which gargling with amphotericin B was efficacious. One case is a 38-year-old woman and the other is a 54-year-old woman. Both patients visited Ishikawa-ken Saiseikai Kanazawa Hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of isolated severe non-productive cough. They did not have bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine or heightened bronchomotor tone. Bronchodilator therapy was not effective for their coughing. Basidiomycetes was isolated from pharyngeal swabs in both cases. Oral cleansing with amphotericin B at 300mg/day for approximately 2 weeks was effective in treating the severe coughs. This is the first report concerning the effectiveness of oral cleansing with amphotericin B for atopic cough, in which Basidiomycetes was detected from pharyngeal swabs.<br>
