➤ Why are corticosteroids often chosen instead of antibiotics or modified chemotherapy for autoimmune tissue injury?
Antibiotics target infection and modified chemotherapy targets proliferating cells; neither directly modulates pathogenic immune signaling. Corticosteroids quickly reduce inflammation and immune cell activity, making them ideal for acute control. After stabilization, targeted immunosuppressants or biologic agents address underlying immune dysregulation for long-term disease management.
