Abstract
In most of the children with persistent asthma, mild to moderate fluticazone propionate doses supress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis rarely. Chronic moderate doses of ICS may suppress adrenal androgen levels without supression of cortisol production. DHEA-S levels may be used as a practical method to follow adrenal functions and may be an earlier indicator of adrenal dysfunction in children.
