Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffects of nebulized amphotericin B and budesonide inhalation for chronic cough-related laryngeal sensations.
To compare the acute effects of single nebulized amphotericin B and budesonide in treating cough-related laryngeal sensations in chronic cough patients, a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial was performed between two groups with positive and negative results of basidiomycetous (BM) fungi in their sputum culture. ⋯ The results of this study suggested that appropriate use of single inhalation of budesonide or amphotericin B, which would be selected based on the results of sputum culture, may lead to suppression of cough-related laryngeal sensations, such as SIT or SMIT.
