  • Title: [The optimization of the corticosteroid therapy of patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].
    Author: Iareshko AG.
    Journal: Vrach Delo; 1989 Nov; (11):39-40. PubMed ID: 2514485.
    Abstract:
    Corticosteroids were administered in 120 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis during the morning hours every other day in association with tuberculostatic agents. It was found that corticosteroids in a dose similar to 15 mg of prednisolone did not influence the efficacy of antibacterial agents while an increase to 20 mg used for not less than 2 months increases the treatment efficacy to 83.3% and over 3 months--to 89.5%.
