Taking Inhaled Steroid For Asthma. Due To Chlamydia Pneumoniae Infection?

I am a physicist working at Univ. of WI-Whitewater. My building Upham Hall was renovated in 2005-2007, and my department was moved back into the building before renovation of our wing was completed. Several of us contracted asthma within six months of moving in, and a few of us continue to express symptoms requiring treatment with an inhaled steroid. What is the likelihood we all contracted a Chlamydia Pneumoniae infection and those of us who are still expressing symptoms of asthma need to be treated with an appropriate antibiotic?

INHALERS ARE ALSO NOT TREAT MENT
