“…PCP has also been documented in pediatric patients with infantile hemangioma during treatment with prednisolone ranging from 5 weeks to 5 months. 15,16 It is thus possible, if not likely, that steroid therapy was a contributing factor to the development of PCP in our patient.…”

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.

“…Adverse effects of high‐dose steroids are several and include significant adrenal suppression and growth retardation, immune suppression, hypertension, bone demineralization, etc . Additional compromise of the infant’s developing immune system by systemic corticosteroid therapy is a concern as demonstrated by recent case reports of life‐threatening Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia infections in infants treated for hemangiomas . Furthermore, approximately 30% of hemangiomas do not respond to corticosteroids.…”

“…5 Additional compromise of the infant's developing immune system by systemic corticosteroid therapy is a concern as demonstrated by recent case reports of life-threatening Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia infections in infants treated for hemangiomas. 6 Furthermore, approximately 30% of hemangiomas do not respond to corticosteroids. Vincristine has been used as a second choice in the treatment of complicated hemangiomas not responding to systemic corticosteroids.…”

“…It has also been described as the leading origin of death in such patients. It occurs mainly when there is a defect in T-helper cell (CD 4 ) especially when its count is less than 200 cell per cubic millimeter, PCP can occur in any patients with non-AIDs immunosuppression state 21,22 .…”
