Globally, clinicians have avoided prescribing corticosteroids (CS) for active infection, as they have immunosuppressive effects and therefore may impair mechanisms that fight infection. However, we, as intensivists, often see patients adequately treated with antibiotics deteriorating on the basis of progressive, localized or systemic inflammation triggered by an infection that is being treated with an adequate antibiotic regimen. Clinically, they have been proven as deleterious in some infectious diseases, such as influenza pneumonia, established for early use in a wide range of infective conditions, such as pneumococcal meningitis, and remain a matter of intense debate in several other infectious conditions, such as severe community-acquired pneumonia. …
