| Abstract |
| Abstract A 48-year old man who had been treated
with prednisolone, aminophylline, and pranlukast, a leukotriene-receptor
antagonist, was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome based on the
findings of asthma, eosinophilia, mononeuropathy, and extravascular
eosinophils. Intractable neuropathic pain of the legs was successfully
controlled with an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist, dextromethorphan.
We suggest that dextromethorphan receptor antagonists may be a useful
treatment for the pain of neuropathy caused by vasculitis syndrome. |
