“Mepolizumab works by blocking interleukin 5 and lowering the level of eosinophils, making them stable over time. This translates clinically into an improvement in the clinic and in less use of both salvage surgery and systemic steroids. A huge advantage for quality of patients’ lives”. These are the words of Elena Cantone, associate professor of Otolaryngology and director of the Speech and Language Therapy School at the University of Naples Federico II, on the occasion of the 110th National Congress of the Italian Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. – Sio, taking place in Bergamo from 22 to 25 May 2024, in the spaces of the Bergamo Fair, whose theme is “The Future in Listening”.
