Enrollment: 10
Study Start Date: August 2009
Study Completion Date: November 2010
Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: inhaled corticosteroid
All asthmatics will start inhaled corticosteroids.
 Drug: Inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone)
inhaled fluticasone 220 ug/bid
