Presentation
A term newborn presented with widespread cutaneous erythematous to bluish lesions since birth. He had extensive lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, brain, retina, heart, and bones. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
Pulmonary infections were ruled out by specific stainings and cultures of BAL, bronchial aspirates, and blood cultures. After the elimination of all possible causes, sirolimus-induced pneumonitis was considered probable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
- Shagreen Patch
RESULTS: Long-term mTORI use resulted in skin lesion regression (angiofibromas, "confetti" skin lesions, shagreen patch) and disease stabilization in brain, abdominal, and chest magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography scans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Angiokeratoma
These anomalies consisted of three extratruncular micro- and macrocystic lymphatic malformations and one each verrucous venous malformation, truncular lymphatic malformation with angiokeratomas, and infantile hemangioma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
A workup of infectious causes was undertaken and was negative. All the patients had resolution of visceral effusions after sirolimus discontinuation. [scielo.mec.pt]
An extensive workup was negative for an infectious etiology, including JC polyomavirus or demyelination. Sirolimus was discontinued and the headaches resolved within a few days. [bloodjournal.org]

BACKGROUND: Systemic treatment with sirolimus, as used for immunosuppression in transplant patients, results in markedly low rates of in-stent restenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Its development worsens patient prognosis, with a significant decrease in survival. Currently, there are no unified guidelines regarding its management, and different combinations of immunosuppressants have been used with variable success. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this report, we will characterize the temsirolimus-related pneumonitis and not the interferon-related pneumonitis that occurred in patients with poor-prognosis ARCC. [dx.doi.org]

Etiology
BACKGROUND: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by vascular proliferation that produces destruction of bone matrix. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Currently, we leverage a variety of techniques to study the etiology and pathogenesis of iMCD. [med.upenn.edu]
Based on the absence of a previous infectious condition and any signs of rejection in the endocardial biopsy that could be triggers, and given the recent introduction of sirolimus, the latter was considered the etiological factor, with blood levels within [revespcardiol.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiologic literature is saturated with general discussions of the limitations of retrospective studies. Posttransplantation diabetes is a relatively frequent and unfortunate complication in patients carrying renal allografts. [jasn.asnjournals.org]

Prevention
CONCLUSION: Our findings show that systemic sirolimus treatment effectively prevents SMC and EC proliferation in vivo without directly affecting these cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sirolimus may also have a role in prevention of organ rejection in heart or lung transplantation, and prevention of graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. [encyclopedia.com]
It is recommended that Rapamune is used with ciclosporin and corticosteroids (other medicines to prevent organ rejection) for two to three months. [ema.europa.eu]
