Patients with pneumonia could expect significant relief coming their way with steroids, even better than what could have been achieved with the use of antibiotics alone, as per a study by researchers from the UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Health of a patient with pneumonia can be restored back with a combination of steroids and antibiotics, according to the study.

From News-medical.net:

Adding corticosteroids to traditional antimicrobial therapy might help people with pneumonia recover more quickly than with antibiotics alone, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have found.

Unlike the anabolic steroids used to bulk up muscle, corticosteroids are often used to treat inflammation related to infectious diseases, such as bacterial meningitis. Used against other infectious diseases, however, steroid therapy has been shown to be ineffective or even harmful.

In a study available online and in a future issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers at UT Southwestern show that mice infected with a type of severe bacterial pneumonia and subsequently treated with steroids and antibiotics recovered faster and had far less inflammation in their lungs than mice treated with antibiotics alone.

The combination can also be effective to provide relief to patients in midst of an asthma attack (M pneumoniae infection).

Clinical trials will soon be conducted to confirm the findings, as per Dr. Robert Hardy, Study’s Senior Author & Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
