prednisone and Leg Ulcer

prednisone has been researched along with Leg Ulcer in 48 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.

Leg Ulcer: Ulceration of the skin and underlying structures of the lower extremity. About 90% of the cases are due to venous insufficiency (VARICOSE ULCER), 5% to arterial disease, and the remaining 5% to other causes.

" Despite intensive therapies including corticosteroids and azathioprine, marked progression of the ulcers was noted and large areas of necrosis appeared."3.78[Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa--is it really benign?]. ( Berman, E; Halevy, S; Horev, A; Shavit, E, 2012)
" Thereapy with systemic prednisone had been used to suppress active synovitis for almost four years and was associated with moon facies, hirsutism, truncal obesity, thinning of the skin, extensive purpura on the extremities, and other manifestations of hypercortisolism."3.66Spontaneous skin tearing during systemic corticosteroid treatment. ( Gottlieb, NL; Penneys, NS, 1980)
"Glomerular nephropathy with acute renal failure and multiple arterial thromboses were associated with the skin condition."1.39[Cutaneous manifestations revealing cryofibrinogenaemia associated with monoclonal gammopathy].

"Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare auto-immune blistering disease that can also be life-threatening."1.32Disseminated cellulitic cryptococcosis in the setting of prednisone monotherapy for pemphigus vulgaris. ( Anhalt, G; Barrett, T; Tran, M; Vonderheid, EC; Yoo, SS, 2003)
" We administered systemic cyclosporine but could not obtain a favorable effect without a concomitant low dosage of prednisone."1.28Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis in a child with sclerosing lesion of the leg. Immunohistopathologic studies and therapeutic trial with systemic cyclosporine. ( Aiba, S; Iizawa, O; Kuramoto, Y; Makino, Y; Tagami, H, 1989)
