Ref.: (LML) Parenteral treatment of leprosy reactions
From: Herman Harun, Jakarta, Indonesia
Dear Pieter,
May I have the opinion of the LML readers on the parenteral treatment of leprosy reactions with a bolus of 125 mg prednisolone?
After 1 – 3 boluses depending on the initial reaction, the standard treatment with 40 mg prednisolone orally is to be continued.
My questions are:
1. Will it shorten the duration of the pain?
2. Will it reduce the pain?
3. Can it shorten the duration of standard oral treatment?
4. Can it help preventing neurological damage?
Awaiting your response and thanking you in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Dr Muherman Harun
