corticosteroids cannot be used by chronic carriers of hbv and even those who cleared acute hbv because suppressing immunity makes hbv back even on those who cleared it since decades.there have been some deaths from use of corticosteroids, reumathoid drugs and chemio drugs when antivirals were not taken prior to this

absolutely dangerous to take for chronic hbv carriers unless hbvdna und on tenofofvir or entecavir, without antivirals liver failure and death is easily possible

of course they suppress immune system and should not be used by hbv carriers and those who cleared acute hbv

asma is just an immune disorder due to low vit d, if vitd25oh are high normal range and intact pth low normal range there are no asma, flu, colds and even if  one can rarely happen it would be ultra mild
