prednisone and Hyperplasia of Thymus Gland

prednisone has been researched along with Hyperplasia of Thymus Gland in 18 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thymic hyperplasia was noted after treatment was initiated or completed in all but two patients; and all did well, with one exception: a 17 year-old boy who was inadvertently treated for relapsed Hodgkin disease and who died of fibrinous pneumonitis and nocardia, with pathologic CR noted at autopsy."2.38Thymic hyperplasia with hemorrhage simulating recurrent Hodgkin disease after chemotherapy-induced complete remission. ( Erner, SM; Keller, SM; Langer, CJ, 1992)

"Of the 13 cases, 5 were Hodgkin's disease (HD), and 8 were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)."1.33[Clinical analysis of reactive thymic hyperplasia following chemotherapy for childhood malignant lymphoma]. ( Ling, JY; Sun, XF; Wang, ZH; Xia, Y; Zhen, ZJ, 2006)
