Impact of inhaled corticosteroid use in vivo on wound
healing
Fifteen asthmatics, 6 atopic and 9 non-atopic, were taking regular
inhaled corticosteroids. In addition, one atopic non-asthmatic took
regular nasal corticosteroids. Wound closure occurred at a faster rate
in those asthmatics taking inhaled corticosteroids (p=0.013). The
difference was greater amongst non-atopic asthmatics (Table 1).
