Budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate (BGF) was used as sequential medicine to systemic glucocorticoids for his persisted symptoms related to bronchospasms. Our case suggests patients with long-term airway diseases like asthma probably attribute their symptoms to COVID-19 instead of primary diseases, which make it more difficult in the symptom control. BGF is able to be an effective and convenient choice as sequential medicine to systemic glucocorticoids in some refractory asthmatic patients complicated with COVID-19.Keywords: coronavirus disease 2019, asthma, budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate, sequential treatmenthttps://www.dovepress.com/successful-sequential-treatment-for-severe-asthma-coexisting-covid-19--peer-reviewed-article-IJGMcoronavirus disease 2019asthmabudesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumaratesequential treatment |
