Suppression of prolonged fever during treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis: importance of using twice versus single daily dose of prednisolone.

K F Chung, P D Snashall.   

Abstract

We describe the clinical course of a patient with extensive pulmonary tuberculosis, in whom fever persisted despite adequate anti-tuberculous and broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. A once daily morning dose of prednisolone failed to suppress the fever, but a twice daily regime was successful.
