  • Title: Incidence of fungal precipitins in patients treated with beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol.
    Author: Chiu JT, Wells I, Novey HS.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1981 Mar; 46(3):137-9. PubMed ID: 7008662.
    Abstract:
    The authors followed the development of serum precipitins to aspergillus and Candida albicans in 14 asthmatic patients placed on beclomethasone dipropionate inhalation at a mean duration of five months. Three sera positive for aspergillus precipitins became negative during treatment. One patient had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis and another patient's serum became positive for candida precipitin. The authors conclude that the incidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis and candida or aspergillus precipitins are rare among patients treated with beclomethasone.
