A woman in her 50s was a super responder to benralizumab administered for the treatment of severe bronchial asthma (BA) with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (ECRS) and eosinophilic otitis media (EOM). She exhibited the gradual exacerbation of ECRS/EOM despite good control of BA approximately 1 year after benralizumab initiation. Therefore, the treatment was switched to dupilumab, and the condition of the paranasal sinuses and middle ear greatly improved with the best control of her asthma. The patient reported that her physical condition was the best of her life. However, she developed a pulmonary opacity on chest computed tomography after 6 months. Histological examination of the lung parenchyma and cell differentiation of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid indicated atypical chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and treatment was switched to mepolizumab. Similarly to the period of benralizumab treatment, exacerbation of ECRS/EOM reduced her quality of life approximately 10 months after the administration of mepolizumab. Dupilumab was again introduced as a replacement for mepolizumab. The clinical course and consideration of the interaction between inflammatory cells led us to speculate that interleukin-13 could play a key role in the development of ECRS/EOM with severe BA.
