	Dr Addie - feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) treatment
		Prednisolone is the main immunosuppressant used in feline infectious peritonitis, it is safe, tends to make the cat feel better and stimulates his or her appetite.
		Prednisolone has the advantage of also being the treatment for lymphocytic cholangitis, which can be mistaken for FIP, so where the diagnosis is in doubt, prednisolone can be given anyway: the cat with lymphocytic cholangitis has a good chance of recovery, the cat with FIP unfortunately will die.
		Prednisolone should never be used in cats with septic peritonitis or pleurisy, which is why cytology is a very important part of FIP diagnosis, as there will be many more white blood cells in the effusion of a cat with sepsis, and a good cytologist will detect the bacteria or fungi.

	Prednisolone Ineffective Against HIV-Associated Pleural Tuberculosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The investigators noted that, although prednisolone suppresses the immune system's response to tuberculosis when used alone, its use is associated with improved survival when taken with anti-tuberculosis drugs--notably, in pericardial tuberculosis.
		As prednisolone is relatively inexpensive and widely available, this would have been of value in fighting tuberculosis and HIV co-infection, especially in resource-poor regions of the world as sub-Saharan Africa.
		Although prednisolone use was not associated with such HIV-associated opportunistic diseases as cryptococcal meningitis, esophageal or oral candidiasis, herpes zoster, or oral or genital herpes simplex infection, it did significantly increase the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma, six cases of which were observed, and only in the prednisolone group.
