title: [Kaposi's sarcoma in a female patient taking corticosteroids for a long time].
abstract: A 65-year-old female patient has been orally taking corticosteroids (8 pills of prednisolone) for a severe form of bronchial asthma. In 1979 Kaposi's sarcoma was diagnosed for the first time; the diagnosis has been histologically confirmed. Several times the patient has been effectively treated with prospidin. The disease course got worse from 1984 on: the eruptions disseminated and the condition recurred every 2-3 months. This case is remarkable because Kaposi's sarcoma has developed in a patient treated with corticosteroids for asthma for a long time.
