Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of oral candidiasis (OC) among patients with asthma and COPD undergoing inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy at the Philippine General Hospital from October 2019 to January 2020.
- Results showed that 5.97% of ICS users had OC, with a prevalence range of 1.65% to 14.59%, but the small sample size limited definitive conclusions.
- The findings indicate some associations, like higher OC prevalence in adult females on low dose Fluticasone/Salmeterol DPI for over a year, and suggest that larger studies are needed to explore the relationship between OC and ICS therapy factors more thoroughly.
