Brief Answer: Considerations Detailed Answer: Hello thank you for submitting your question. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be a common respiratory infection in individuals with your medical conditions. Elimination of any bacterial infection is very dependent upon a healthy, functioning immune system, which in turn is affected by overall health. Prednisone is known to decrease the functioning of the immune system. Asthma is also a condition that alters an immune activity. In addition you are also dealing with another infection on top of the Pseudomonas. All of these conditions make it very difficult to accurately predict when the body will be rid of the infection. It is very important for you to follow closely with your pulmonologist to treat your infection and manage your asthma. Again, thank you for submitting your question. Take care, Dr. G
