[Intravenous pulsed therapy with prednisolone hemisuccinate in severe forms of systemic lupus erythematosus].

The intravenous pulsed treatment with prednisone hemisuccinate of severe forms of systemic lupus erythematosus influences favorably the basic clinical manifestations of the disease--polyarthritis, fever, vasculitis, myocarditis, sialoadenitis. Prednisolone is as efficient as methylprednisolone in the pulsed treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
