In this new paper by @nelson-lab.bsky.social, we found that pre-exposure of NHP to glucocorticoids impairs control of SARS-CoV-2 and is associated with reduced pDC, eosinophil and γδT cell responses. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Glucocorticoids suppress early lung inflammation and impair control of SARS-CoV-2 in non-human primates

In severe cases of COVID-19, glucocorticoid treatment improves clinical outcomes. However, in non-hospitalized patients, glucocorticoids have limited benefit and may impair viral clearance. Here, we u...
