Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy

<p>Trachyonychia of nails has been found to be associated with dermatoses such as lichen planus, psoriasis, alopecia areata etc. When involving all the finger and toe nails bilaterally, it is referred to as ‘twenty nail dystrophies. We, hereby, report a case of trachyonychia in an 8-year-old boy, with concomitant lichen planus and alopecia areata. He was successfully treated with biweekly pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy for duration of 6 months. Significant response was noted at the end of 6 months in terms of hair re-growth; improvement of nail texture, thickness and subungual hyperkeratosis; and resolution of skin lesions.</p>

Blind Trials

Since the usefulness of topical corticosteroids in the treatment of ulcerative colitis was first reported1 double-blind trials have confirmed their effectiveness, and they are now widely used.2 For disease localised to the rectum suppositories, and for more extensive disease, retention enemas containing various corticosteroids are available (see table). In severe cases these preparations also valuably supplement systemic corticosteroid therapy, with or without sulphasalazine (Salazopyrin).
