Abstract
Parapneumonic effusion and pleural infection represent a major healthcare burden with significant morbidity and mortality. For many decades, management strategies have been centered on antibiotics and fluid drainage. Inflammation plays a key role in the genesis of parapneumonic effusion. Corticosteroids have well-known anti inflammatory properties, based on which they have been successfully studied in several infectious diseases including bacterial meningitis and CAP of the adult.
