The article focuses on the use of corticosteroids in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It references a Cochrane systematic review of patients hospitalized with CAP which identified hyperglycemia as the only adverse event associated with corticosteroids. The benefits of corticosteroids to patients with pneumonia and a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are discussed.
