Abstract
In this study, the effect of dexamethasone on the formation of pneumococcal antibodies during community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was investigated. No differences between CAP patients receiving dexamethasone as additional therapy and patients receiving a placebo were found with respect to immune response rates and mean baseline and convalescent-phase antibody concentrations.Entities:
