Subject: COPD patient.

The patient was hospitalized here in June of 2007 with asthma exacerbation.  He was treated with Solu-Medrol, antibiotic and nebulized bronchodilators and responded.  Since that time he had 2 relapses and had to be recycled, both with _____ on one occasion, and with prednisone by his local physician on another occasion. 


The blank sounds like "mittel"
