In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

Steroid treatment is required in many clinical settings and if prolonged can be associated with serious side effects. Certain less well-known side effects may require specific prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The risk of developing hyperglycemia, psychiatric disorders and opportunistic infections associated with immunosuppression is often forgotten. We present herein some evidence on the prevalence, preventive measures and treatment of some of these side effects. Large controlled trials are lacking and do not allow to provide strong recommendations. Nevertheless, we try to provide some suggestions based on a review of the literature.
