Thank you for your kind words.💜
Eighty percent of people with bronchiectasis would probably not benefit
from a steroid inhaler. They have a neutrophilic condition and the steroid
is just going to lower their immunity and make them more susceptible to
infections. However, in twenty percent of cases, the issue is more
eosinophilic and these people might benefit from steroids. This is also
true for COPD and asthma cases that overlap with bronchiectasis. But, it is
a "risk versus reward" discussion because they, too, will be more prone to
infection.
BE well,
