prednisolone and Leprosy, Cutaneous

prednisolone has been researched along with Leprosy, Cutaneous in 37 studies

Prednisolone: A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states.
prednisolone : A glucocorticoid that is prednisone in which the oxo group at position 11 has been reduced to the corresponding beta-hydroxy group. It is a drug metabolite of prednisone.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We followed the urinary levels of the metabolites of NO [nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-)] and the clinical response to prednisolone treatment in leprosy patients (n = 9) admitted to ALERT leprosy hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, because of reversal reaction (RR) or erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL)."9.09High dose prednisolone treatment of leprosy patients undergoing reactions is associated with a rapid decrease in urinary nitric oxide metabolites and clinical improvement. ( Bizuneh, E; Britton, S; Gebre, N; Leekassa, R; Schön, T; Sundqvist, T, 2000)
" She was referred to our clinic with painful nodules and pustules on the upper limbs, diffuse facial infiltration with pustules and fever, after initiating minocycline with the intention of treating acne."7.78Erythema nodosum leprosum associated with minocycline. ( Almeida, LS; Antunes, J; Filipe, P; Marques, MS; Pacheco, D; Travassos, AR, 2012)
" These two pilot studies compare the efficacy and side effect profile of ciclosporin plus prednisolone against prednisolone alone in the treatment of patients with either new ENL or chronic and recurrent ENL."6.82Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Ciclosporin to Prednisolone in the Treatment of Erythema Nodosum Leprosum: Two Randomised, Double Blind, Controlled Pilot Studies in Ethiopia. ( Alembo, DT; Idriss, MH; Lambert, SM; Lockwood, DN; Nicholls, PG; Nigusse, SD; Walker, SL; Yamuah, LK, 2016)
