First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding corticosteroids to standard care can lower the high death rate (60-80%) of severe Pneumocystis pneumonia in people with weakened immune systems (not from HIV). About 240 ICU patients will receive either standard care alone or standard care plus different doses of steroids. The main goal is to see if steroids improve survival at 28 days.
