Methylprednisolone may have caused this condition. It is a (cortico)steroid that stops inflammation from occurring. It also suppresses the immune system. It also inhibits cytokine production, and stops T cells from activating themselves. In this case, the best option for the patient would likely be to go off the corticosteroid.
