[Kaposi sarcoma associated with systemic corticosteroid therapy].
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) was first described in 1872 by Moritz Kaposi. Its epidemiology is suggestive of an infectious disease and in 1994 Chang and coworkers identified DNA sequences corresponding to a previously unidentified herpes virus--human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8)--in AIDS-associated KS biopsies.

BACKGROUND Excessive corticosteroid exposure is associated with atrophic effects on the human hippocampus and amygdala. These effects seem to be, at least in part, mediated through corticosteroid-induced release of glutamate. We previously reported that lamotrigine, a glutamate release inhibitor, significantly improved declarative memory but did not change hippocampal volume, as compared with p...
