Abstract

Since the RECOVERY trial, steroids have endorsed by all Guideliness for treating moderate-severe COVID-19. The prescribed dose is 6mg dexamethasone or its equivalents for 10 days. However, in clinical practice, there are numerous occasions where the role of steroids cannot be extrapolated from current evidence: patients on immunosuppression, patients with persistent oxygen requirement after ten days of therapy, etc. We highlight the existing caveats and the need for further research and discussion.
