prednisone and Syphilis

prednisone has been researched along with Syphilis in 31 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.

Syphilis: A contagious venereal disease caused by the spirochete TREPONEMA PALLIDUM.

" An analysis of 34 cases shows that long-term use of steroids can maintain effective hearing for more than 20 years."2.68Meniere's disease of syphilitic etiology. ( Pulec, JL, 1997)
"Traditional treatment of otosyphilis with penicillin and corticosteroids has achieved hearing improvement; however, selecting which patients with a positive fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test will benefit from treatment remains a problem."2.67Otosyphilis: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. ( Gleich, LL; Kimmelman, CP; Linstrom, CJ, 1992)

"Forty-eight patients with syphilitic labyrinthitis have been treated and followed up for periods of six months to 25 years; interpretation of the hearing results must be in the light of the natural history of this condition which is perceived to be progression of hearing loss to profound deafness."1.29Syphilitic labyrinthitis--an update. ( Adams, DA; Chan, YM; Kerr, AG, 1995)
"A man with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving chronic steroid therapy presented with headache, fever and panophthalmitis."1.29Acute syphilitic meningitis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. ( Cronstein, B; Goldman, R; Lewis, S, 1993)

"Treatment with prednisone and penicillin over a three-month period resulted in return of good cochlear function in one ear."1.25Hearing loss of acquired syphilis: diagnosis confirmed by incudectomy. ( Nadol, JB, 1975)
