Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists in Virus-Induced Wheezing
Tóm tắt
Virus-induced wheezing is a relatively benign entity that is usually transient in early childhood but is responsible for much health care utilization. The condition, seen traditionally as a subset of those children diagnosed as having frequent episodic asthma, is often treated with inhaled corticosteroids, despite their lack of efficacy. However, there remains some confusion differentiating atopic asthma from virus-induced wheezing in young children and their respective treatment strategies. The demonstration of cysteinyl leukotrienes in the nasopharyngeal secretions of infants and young children who wheeze prompted investigation of the role of leukotriene receptor antagonists in the treatment of virus-induced wheezing for young children with bronchiolitis and virus-induced wheezing. Montelukast, the only leukotriene receptor antagonist studied in young children, has been proven useful in increasing the number of symptom-free days and delaying the recurrence of wheeze in the month following a diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus-induced wheezing in children aged 3–36 months. Subsequently, in children aged 2–5 years with frequent episodic asthma, primarily involving viral induced attacks in this age group, regular therapy with daily montelukast for 12 months reduced the rate of asthma exacerbations by 31% over placebo, delayed the time to the first exacerbation by 2 months, and lowered the need to prescribe inhaled corticosteroids as preventative therapy. Additionally, montelukast has been demonstrated to be efficacious as an acute episode modifier in children aged 2–14 years (85% children <6 years) with virus-induced wheezing where it was prescribed at the onset of a viral infection in children with an established pattern of viral induced episodes of wheeze in the preceding year. In this study, emergency department visits were reduced by 45%, visits to all health care practitioners were reduced by 23%, and time of preschool/school and parental time off work was reduced by 33% for children who took montelukast for a median of 10 days. At present, there is good evidence to support the use of bronchodilators in the acute treatment of virus-induced wheezing, and increasing evidence to support the use of leukotriene receptor antagonists, in particular montelukast, in the management of children with virus-induced wheezing.
