"Steroids Decrease Immunity": AIIMS Chief Randeep Guleria
AIIMS director Dr Randeep Guleria said in the early stages when the coronavirus is replicating in the body, steroids might promote the replication of the virus causing more harm. "This has also been shown in the recovery trial... in those patients where steroids were given early, they had a higher mortality. Steroids decrease your immune system, your immunity, and you may land up with more severe viral infection," he said.
