Azathioprine and the Risk of Pneumonia: A Comprehensive Review
In a recent comprehensive review, I explored the connection between Azathioprine and the risk of pneumonia. Azathioprine, an immunosuppressive drug, has been linked to increased vulnerability to infections. I discovered that patients taking this medication, particularly those with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, may have a heightened risk of developing pneumonia. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to closely monitor these patients and weigh the potential benefits and risks of using Azathioprine. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the safest and most effective treatment plan for each individual.
