METHOD FOR TREATING INFLUENZA HEMORRHAGIC PULMONARY EDEMA

摘要

A method for treating influenza "hemorrhagic pneumonia" (influenza hemorrhagic pulmonary edema) provides for the use of antiedematous drugs. As emergency drugs for arresting the development of pulmonary edema, glucocorticoids are used (predominantly, Dexamethasone) intravenously by stream infusion at the initial dose of 90-120 mg calculated as Prednisolone. Depending on the primary effect, the following glucocorticoid dose may be increased up to the total dose of 300 mg calculated as Prednisolone. The maximal daily dose should not exceed 400 mg.
