A member asked:
Are people with asthma considered to be immunocompromised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily,: If you are on steroids at times, then you will be immunocompromised (in the generally meant sense) when you are on them. Which means you may be more prone to infection when you are on them.
