Dear Dr. Kar,
Thank you very much for your comments on the downgrading type 1 reaction [LML April 10th, 2012].  I agree with you.  So far there are no accepted criteria for the diagnosis of downgrading type 1 reaction.  If yes, what would be the meaning of the downgrading type 1 reaction in terms of the management of the patient?

Warm regards,

Dr. Chen Shumin
