Résumé
The French Society of Pediatric Neurology and the FILNEMUS network created a working group on corticosteroid therapy in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in order to analyze the literature review and current French practices. The aim of this work was to produce guidelines regarding treatment initiation, pre-therapeutic interventions, choice between available compounds, and treatment monitoring (dosage, duration, and discontinuation). The treatment side effects and their management are also detailed: osteoporosis, endocrinological anomaly (growth delay, weight gain, pubertal delay), cataract, arterial hypertension, behavioral disorders, management of immunosuppression and vaccines, and management of gastrointestinal and metabolic complications.
