Article Synopsis
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) negatively impacts the prognosis of miliary tuberculosis (MTB), and the role of steroid pulse therapy in these cases was investigated.
- A study analyzed 13 patients with MTB and ARDS from medical records, revealing that those receiving steroid pulse therapy had better survival rates than those who did not.
- The results indicated that steroid pulse therapy significantly improves short-term survival in patients with MTB complicated by ARDS, presenting it as a strong prognostic factor.
