Abstract
We report successful use of methyl-prednisolone in a 21-month old child with ARDS that did not improve with conventional therapy. The child improved and could be extubated after 10 days of methyl-prednisolone therapy. Subsequently, the child was weaned off supplementary oxygen. Methylprednisolone appeared to be safe and effective in a child with unresolving ARDS.
