The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of a potent topical steroid, fluticasone propionate, on patients with early signs and symptoms of the common cold. Salivary flow rate, innate host defense factors, and total protein content were not affected by the common cold. Salivary flow rate, innate host defense factors, and total protein content were not affected by the common cold. Neither the common cold nor the fluticasone propionate treatment had any effect on the relative amounts of secreted IgG or IgM immunoglobulins. Therefore, the salivary IgA response was probably induced by the viruses, and the treatment of the common cold with fluticasone propionate did not have any negative influence on this defense factor. ./cache/cord-306705-adshd3jj.txt ./txt/cord-306705-adshd3jj.txt
