Systemic Corticosteroids in Pediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Evidence, Clinical Outcomes, and Phenotype-Based Therapeutic Considerations

2026-07-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of pediatric morbid-ity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low-resource settings. Although antimicrobial therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, disease severity is often influenced not only by pathogen burden but also by dysregulated host inflammation. Systemic corticosteroids have therefore been investigated as adjunctive age...
