Abstract
Nasal corticosteroids are recommended as first-line therapy for patients with moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis. We report a case of a patient who presented with recurrent sepsis and was found to have secondary immunodeficiency induced by inappropriate use of nasal corticosteroids, highlighting the risks associated with the misuse of this medication.
