Variation in lower leg growth with alternate day steroid treatment

J K Wales et al. Arch Dis Child. 1988 Aug.

Abstract

Daily growth of the lower leg in a child receiving alternate day oral steroids for Crohn's disease was measured by knemometry. Growth occurred on days free of treatment. This may represent a direct observation of the growth sparing effect of alternate day steroid medication.
