Caution with the use of dexamethasone in patients with COVID-19 in its initial phases.

Introduction: The effect of dexamethasone in the initial phase of infection by SARS-CoV-2 and its influence on COVID-19 is not well defined. We describe clinical-radiological characteristics, the cytokine storm parameters, and the clinical evolution of a series of patients treated with dexamethasone in the disease's initial phase.

Method: A study of 8 patients who received dexamethasone before the development of COVID-19.
