Nintedanib Treatment in a Child with Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abstract

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in children is a very rare, progressive, and life-threatening condition. There are advances in the treatment of idiopathic PF in adults with the approval of antifibrotics like nintedanib. However, PF treatment in children is still an inconclusive area that needs to be studied further. Here, we present the nintedanib experience in a child with PF.

Pulmoner Fibrozis Gelişen Bir Çocukta Nintedanib Deneyimi

Abstract

Çocuklarda pulmoner fibrozis (PF) çok nadir görülen, ilerleyici ve yaşamı tehdit eden bir durumdur. Nintedanib gibi antifibrotiklerin onaylanmasıyla erişkinlerde idiyopatik PF tedavisinde ilerlemeler kaydedilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, çocuklarda PF tedavisi hala daha fazla çalışılması gereken sonuçsuz bir alandır. Burada, PF'li bir çocukta nintedanib deneyimini sunuyoruz.
