Ref.: In Reactions the therapy has to be tailored according to
the clinical response

Dear
Dr. Noto,
I fully endorse what Ben Naafs says (LML Dec. 2nd,
2008). In Reactions
and nerve involvement, even though operationally difficult, the
therapy HAS to be tailored according to the clinical response and it
is not uncommon to find it necessary to continue steroids more than 3
months. Of course all
care has to be taken to prevent steroid induced complications and
often one had to add additional measures like increasing the dose of
Lamprene in Type 2 reactions.
Warm
regards,
Dinkar D Palande
