Steroid therapy has been proven beneficial in the treatment of SARS-CoV2 in various trials all around the world. However, the dosing and timing of this therapy are crucial and still under debate.

Here we describe four cases of SARS-CoV2 who presented to a tertiary care center in India within the first week of illness, with moderate to severe disease activity. These patients were treated with Pulse doses of intravenous MethylPrednisolone. All four patients showed positive outcomes in terms of oxygen requirement and early recovery.
