Abstract

Omalizumab, a monoclonal antibody to human IgE, is used to treat severe asthma and is reportedly effective in other allergic diseases. We report a case of eosinophilic otitis media and sinusitis improved by omalizumab treatment.

Besides rapidly improving asthma symptoms, it ameliorated eosinophilic otitis media and sinusitis, confirming its hoped for effectiveness.
