Summary
- Patients may present with minimal disease or with rapidly progressive KS, which is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality[Dezube 2000]
- KS exacerbation can result from IRIS following ART initiation, after corticosteroid use, or with rituximab therapy[Leidner 2005; Pantanowitz 2008]
- Risk factors for KS-IRIS include HIV-1 RNA > 105 copies/mL, detectable plasma HHV-8 DNA, ART as initial KS treatment, and stage T1 KS[Letang 2013]
