Background Recent studies have suggested a possible association between respiratory
infection and the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). We aimed to ascertain the risk of upper
respiratory tract infection (URTI) with long-term inhaled corticosteroid use among patients
with asthma. Methods Through a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Cochrane
Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar from inception to May 2018, we included randomized
controlled trials of any ICS vs. a control treatment for asthma, with reporting of URTI as an …

obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has been associated with an increased risk of
pneumonia. Moraxella catarrhalis is one of the most common bacterial causes of infectious
exacerbation in COPD. Currently, to our knowledge, no studies have investigated if ICS
increases the risk of lower respiratory tract infection with M. catarrhalis in patients with
COPD. Objective To investigate if accumulated ICS use in patients with COPD, is associated …
