prednisone and P carinii Infection

prednisone has been researched along with P carinii Infection in 3 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.

Trial Outcomes

Response to Leucine in Transfusion Dependent Patients With Diamond Blackfan Anemia

"The primary outcome is the type of response observed at 9 months. Response to treatment can be one of the following:~Complete response (CR): Hb > 9 gm/dL and transfusion-independence as defined in DBA~Partial response (PR): Hb < 9 gm/dL and increased reticulocyte count to greater than baseline.~No response (NR): no change in transfusion requirements and no significant change reticulocyte count from baseline~Progression: worsening of disease as defined by the need for more frequent transfusions" (NCT01362595)
