Alternate-Day Prednisone Therapy: Evaluation of Delayed Hypersensitivity Responses, Control of Disease and Steroid Side Effects
Abstract
Patients with a variety of febrile, inflammatory disorders were given an average dose of 62 mg of prednisone every other day for periods lasting from one to 16 months. In seven patients, a switch from daily to alternate-day therapy was followed by increased delayed hypersensitivity responses to appropriate antigens. In five patients started directly on an alternate-day schedule, pre-existing skin reactivity was not suppressed. In addition, six of seven patients could be sensitized to dinitrochlorobenzene while on alternate-day steroids. Patients on the alternate-day schedule had remarkably mild side effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
