title: Severe bronchial asthma improved on bamifylline. Case report and review.
abstract: We describe a 25-year-old patient with severe bronchial asthma, which was difficult to treat with oral theophylline. Bamifylline, a xanthine derivative, clearly improved the clinical signs, symptoms and lung function. We critically review the literature on bamifylline.
