The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines advocate intravenous hydrocortisone only in adults with septic shock and refractory hypotension. [4] The exact definition of this condition, the best ways to test for corticoid insufficiency in critically ill patients, and the therapeutic use of (usually low doses) of corticosteroids remains a subject of ...
Low-dose and high-dose variations of the test exist. [4] The test is given at low (usually 1–2 mg) and high (8 mg) doses of dexamethasone, and the levels of cortisol are measured to obtain the results. [5] A low dose of dexamethasone suppresses cortisol in individuals with no pathology in endogenous cortisol production.

The median number of ICI doses before the onset of IM3OS symptoms has been reported to be one. [2] Immediate initiation of immunosuppressive therapy and supportive therapies, such as high-dose steroids, is paramount upon suspicion or diagnosis of IM3OS. Early multidisciplinary team involvement is also essential.
High dosages of corticosteroids are typically effective in treating acute severe myositis. [44] [73] Topical steroids, prednisone, and/or hydroxychloroquine are useful in treating SLE-like skin rash, oral ulcers, and photosensitivity. [44] [25] Steroid treatment is often effective in treating sclerodermatous skin symptoms.
