- - Researchers have not formally evaluated the effectiveness of PET/CT scans for assessing the involvement and treatment response of systemic Kaposi sarcoma (KS) caused by human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) in patients, particularly those with HIV.
- - A case study of a 46-year-old man with HIV-related KS showed that despite a decrease in HHV-8 viral load, initial treatment indicated only a partial response on the PET/CT scan.

Reactivation of latent tuberculosis (TB) is an established risk of anti-tumour necrosis factor α (anti-TNF) therapy. We report five cases of active TB occurring in 703 patients treated with anti-TNF therapy over a 10-year period in a central London hospital and review our screening practices for identifying latent TB prior to anti-TNF treatment. Four patients were receiving adalimumab and one patient etanercept at the time of TB diagnosis.
