Can Dexamethasone be used in all patients with infectious diseases?
Not all patients with infectious diseases are candidates for dexamethasone treatment. Its use is generally reserved for severe cases where the benefits outweigh the risks. For instance, in mild or moderate cases of COVID-19, dexamethasone is not recommended due to the lack of benefit and potential harm. Similarly, in other infections, its use must be judicious and tailored to individual patient needs, often guided by clinical trials and guidelines.
