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.

Leishmaniasis, Visceral: A chronic disease caused by LEISHMANIA DONOVANI and transmitted by the bite of several sandflies of the genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia. It is commonly characterized by fever, chills, vomiting, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, leukopenia, hypergammaglobulinemia, emaciation, and an earth-gray color of the skin. The disease is classified into three main types according to geographic distribution: Indian, Mediterranean (or infantile), and African.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In Spain, however, a HIV-negative man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prednisone treatment was recently hospitalized because of hypotension and asthenia."3.73Fatal visceral leishmaniasis, with massive bone-marrow infection, in an immunosuppressed but HIV-negative Spanish patient, after the initiation of treatment with meglumine antimoniate. ( Garcia-Cordoba, F; Gonzalez Diaz, G; Ortuño, FJ; Segovia, M, 2005)
"A case of Hodgkin's disease associated from the start with visceral leishmaniasis in the absence of antitumoral treatment shows that leishmaniasis is a severe opportunistic infection in endemic areas and can be masked by the tumoral syndrome of an underlying pathology."2.38[Visceral leishmaniasis associated with Hodgkin's disease: diagnostic difficulties].
