The WHO does not recommend the systematic use of glucocorticoids for viral pneumonia or concurrent ARDS. 3 China's COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Plan recommends hormones as adjuvant therapy. 2 In the present study, 48 (87·28% ) of the patients did not receive glucocorticoids, while 7 (12·72%) did receive such agents during the rapid progression of their disease to inhibit inflammation and improve oxygenation at a dose of 1-2 mg/kg/day. Treatment was gradually reduced over 5-7 days until discontinuation, and showed no adverse reactions. As such, glucocorticoids appear to be unnecessary for patients with mild manifestations of COVID-19, while their use in treating patients with severe disease is controversial.
