Long-Term Macrolides in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Dusk or a New Dawn? A Narrative Review

2025-09-02

Abstract excerpt

Macrolides—especially azithromycin—have long been used in chronic respiratory dis-eases for their combined antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Their role has been investigated across a range of conditions, including bronchiectasis, COPD, asthma, and less common entities such as chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), and diffuse panbron-chi...
