Is there any contraindication to the use of inhaled steroids in asthma patients who have tuberculosis or who are immunocompromised (e.g. HIV patients)?
There are no contraindications to the use of inhaled corticosteroids in active pulmonary TB, so long as these patients are concomitantly receiving anti-tubercular chemotherapy as well. Similarly, there is no harm in the regular use of inhaled corticosteroids in immunocompromised patients, as long as opportunistic infections are detected early and treated appropriately.
