“…The arthralgias experienced by some of our patients may have been due to steroid withdrawal (4,17,18) and are consistent with the syndrome of steroid "pseudorheumatism" ( 17). Joint swelling, however, has not been described as a feature of that syndrome.…”

Thirty-seven consecutive renal transplant recipients were studied prospectively for joint disease. Six developed arthralgias while corticosteroid doses were being lowered. Eleven patients (30%) developed knee effusions at a mean interval of 10 days following transplantation. Synovial fluids were colorless or very pale yellow, with few leukocytes (mean, 28/mm3). These benign transudative effusions did not correlate with immunologic abnormalities, transplant rejection, crystal deposition, or avascular necrosis and may have been due to high dose oral corticosteroid therapy.Musculoskeletal complaints have been noted in up to 30% of patients receiving kidney transplants (1-4). Although aseptic necrosis has received the most atten-

“…DR. JEROME ROTsTEIN (Washington, D.C.): Slocumb was the first to describe peculiar, non-Cushing-like symptoms in patients who had received high doses of steroids. These observations were confirmed and extended by Rotstein and Good (1957) in their description of the steroid pseudo-rheumatoid state. Smith and Good (1956) were able to produce erythema nodosa-like lesions in a group of children who had received very high doses of prednisone.…”

“…They were mainly observed in patients with nephrotic syndrome and collagen disease. It was suggested that nephrotics had a tendency for increased blood viscosity (Aldersberg, 1955) and that phlebitis often occurred in rheumatoid arthritis or collagen diseases (Kemper and Bagganstoss, 1957;Rotstein and Good, 1957;Charles et al, 1957).…”

Major Side-Effects of Glucocorticoids in Japan

The present statistical investigation was undertaken in order to establish what is the most significant out of various side-effects of glucocorticoids(GC) in Japan. From the viewpoint of mortality, side-effects of GC can be classified into two groups:"Major" and"Minor" side-effects."Minor side-effects" denotes moonface, obesity, hypertrichosis, anorexia, polyphagia, headache, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and glucosuria, etc., which by themselves scarcely affect the mortality. On the other hand,"major side-effects" may contribute to the mortality or tend to leave various severe disturbances. The frequency of major side-effects much lower than that of minor ones, may still reach 5 to 20% of the patients treated with GC(Smyth et al., 1959; Katsu et al., 1963). The results of our survey on the side-effect of glucocorticoid by means of questionnaires sent to clinical department in various medical schools in japan is summarized in the present report. METHODS The questionnaires concerning the major side-effects were sent to 344 clinical department of internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics and dermatology, in medical schools all over Japan. The answers were obtained from 102 departments. Amog 194 cases thus collected(107 males and 87 femals) 15 showed at least one side-effect, giving the total frequency of side-effect of 212. The age distribution ranging from 1 month to 79 years old is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Age distribution
