dapsone and Giant Cell Arteritis

dapsone has been researched along with Giant Cell Arteritis in 21 studies

Giant Cell Arteritis: A systemic autoimmune disorder that typically affects medium and large ARTERIES, usually leading to occlusive granulomatous vasculitis with transmural infiltrate containing multinucleated GIANT CELLS. The TEMPORAL ARTERY is commonly involved. This disorder appears primarily in people over the age of 50. Symptoms include FEVER; FATIGUE; HEADACHE; visual impairment; pain in the jaw and tongue; and aggravation of pain by cold temperatures. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed)

" Studies included were trials in which: (1) the participants were classified as having GCA by the 1990 ACR criteria or biopsy proven disease; (2) parallel-group randomised control of at least 16 weeks duration had been conducted with at least 20 participants; (3) the design included either alternative adjunct immunosuppressant regimens, alternative GCs dosing or routes of administration; and (4) outcome data was included on either relapse rates or rates of infection."6.50Prednisolone combined with adjunctive immunosuppression is not superior to prednisolone alone in terms of efficacy and safety in giant cell arteritis: meta-analysis.

( Doury, P; Eulry, F; Masson, C; Maurel, C; Pattin, S; Tabaraud, F, 1983)
" Nineteen patients had ocular manifestations of giant cell arteritis always from the onset, except for a fall in visual acuity; 26 relapses were observed in 18 patients, either during reduction of steroid dosage (21 cases) or after withdrawal (5 cases)."1.27[Prognosis of treated temporal arteritis.

" A daily dosage of 75 to 100 mg would seem to provide a good compromise between the anti-inflammatory and haemolytic effects."1.27[Disulon in the treatment of Horton's disease.
