Abstract

Pentoxifylline is a well-established drug with hemorheologic properties. Various evidence suggests an additional therapeutic potential in regard to inflammation and immunomodulation. Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) is a granulomatous disease that is driven by T-cell and alveolar macrophage (AM)-derived cytokines.
