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.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
