prednisone and Streptococcal Infections

prednisone has been researched along with Streptococcal Infections in 49 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.

Streptococcal Infections: Infections with bacteria of the genus STREPTOCOCCUS.

Trial Outcomes

Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS)

The CYBOCS is a clinician rated, semi-structured interview for rating the severity of OCD (Scahill, et al., 1997). Total scores range from 0 to 50, with higher scores representing greater severity. The total score is comprised of two subscores, obsessions and compulsions, each with a range of 0-25. (NCT01617083)

Clinical Global Impressions-Severity OCD

The CGI-S scale is a 7-point clinician rating of severity of psychopathology. Severity ratings range from 1 (no illness) to 7 (extremely severe). This instrument has been successfully used in treatment studies (Cook, et al., 2001; Storch, et al., 2007). (NCT01617083)

Screen for Childhood Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED)

The Screen for Childhood Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) is a 41-item parent and participant-completed tool used to measure symptoms of anxiety, including the most common symptoms of panic/somatic, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia. Scores range from 0-82, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.The child and parent versions of the SCARED have moderate parent-child agreement and good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and discriminant validity; it is also sensitive to treatment response (Birmaher et al. 1999). The target population for this rating is 8-18 years of age (Birmaher et al. 1997). The parent and child version of the SCARED were administered before and after week 4 randomization. This measure is not validated for use in 4-7 year olds. (NCT01617083)
