Kaposi's sarcoma after immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone

R. A. Hoshaw1

Abstract: Immunosuppressed patients are at risk of acquiring Kaposi's sarcoma. We describe here a 66-year old man with bronchial asthma who was receiving immunosuppressive medication (prednisone given for systemic effect) and in whom Kaposi's sarcoma developed. The literature on this subject is reviewed.

“…Although Kaposi's sarcoma can occur after treatment with prednisolone alone, [12] this is very rare, and in our patient, the Kaposi's sarcoma lesions regressed and re mained latent for 3 years while on prednisolone alone. It also regressed twice on withdrawing CyA and azathio prine, respectively, while the patient was still taking pred nisolone.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Other studies call this subtype post transplant-KS and patients with KS under immunosuppressive therapy for autoimmune disorders may not be listed in this group. However the increased risk of KS in iatrogenically immunosuppressed patients is well documented [12]–[14].…”

“…141 Differences in immunosuppressive therapy may favor HHV-8 reactivation in transplant recipients. [142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151] KS may develop after the use of prednisone or other immunosuppressives in settings other than of transplantation. 142,152-154 KS has been seen more often in patients whose treatment includes cyclosporine, 117,132 a drug that may reactivate HHV-8 from latency to lytic replication in tissue culture.…”
