Prednisone: serious infections (exceptions: TB meningitis and septic shock); systemic fungal infections; Varicella
Hydrocortisone (Cortisol): children under 2 yrs; systemic funal infections
Triamcinolone (Kenalog, Aristocort): no contraindications when used intralesional (as in dental application); systemic fungal infections (when used IM).
In general, don’t give pts steroids if they have candidiasis – they will exacerbate fungal conditions.
