10 years of IFNβ-1b therapy. 42 Histopathologically, these cases were consistent with morphea, with thickened collagen bundles extending into the subcutaneous fat, paucity of adnexal structures, and a deep reticular lymphocytic infiltrate (Figure 9.3). 41 The authors proposed a possible dysregulation of inflammatory cytokines, trauma, or a combination of both as the underlying cause.

Cutaneous Ulceration and Necrosis
Injection site ulceration and necrosis typically occur within the first 4 months of therapy but have been reported greater than 1 year after initiating therapy. Necrosis is generally limited to an area 3 cm or less in diameter with extension into the subcutaneous fat, although larger lesions with involvement of the fascia overlying muscle have been reported. 29 Healing is usually associated with scarring. In rare cases, debridement with subsequent skin grafting may be required. Histologically, perivascular and interstitial lymphohistiocytic infiltrates, panniculitis, and thrombosis of deeper vessels have been reported.
13,29,43-50
Proposed mechanisms include thrombosis
and necrosis of dermal vessels secondary to abnormal aggregation of platelets as well as a hypersensitivity reaction within blood vessels.
43,51-53
Incorrect injection technique and
improper depth of injection have been identified as risk factors. 54 The decision of whether to continue treatment depends on the extent of necrosis. Some patients have
https://t.me/medicina_free
experienced healing of necrotic skin lesions while continuing therapy. Patients should be advised not to administer therapy into the affected area. 23 If multiple lesions are present, the general consensus is that therapy should be discontinued.
29
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of injection site reactions with IFN-β therapy is not fully understood. Direct toxic and proinflammatory mechanisms, as well as IgE-mediated and delayed hypersensitivity reactions have been proposed as potential causes. Furthermore, immune-mediated necrotizing vasculitis and platelet-dependent thrombosis may play a role. Patients with MS have clotting abnormalities at baseline secondary to abnormal platelet activation, which may be further exacerbated by the immunomodulatory treatments used in MS.
37,51,55
IFN-β administered subcutaneously can induce
inflammatory skin reactions due to local chemokine induction with immune cell extravasation. More specifically, studies have demonstrated an upregulation of chemokines (CCL2 and CXCL10), with recruitment of circulating T cells to evolving skin lesions. 56 Histologically, reports have demonstrated a lupuslike reaction with superficial and deep perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrate with focal interface damage and interstitial mucin.
23,57,58
In severe cases, thrombosis of
deeper vessels may be seen.
13,29,43-49
Systemic Reactions
Rare systemic reactions have been reported with the use of IFN-β therapy in patients with MS, although a direct correlation between disease onset and the use of IFN therapy could not be proven in all cases. Twelve cases of sclerosing skin disorders, including both limited and diffuse cutaneous sclerosis, have been reported in patients with MS. 59 In five of these patients, IFN-β had been administered between 1 and 8 years before the onset of sclerosis, which the authors suggested may have been the trigger. 59 One case of cutaneous vasculitis with renal impairment was reported in a patient injecting IFN-β for 10 weeks who developed purpura,
https://t.me/medicina_free
proteinuria, and hematuria after an injection. 18 In another case, a middle-aged female developed disseminated cutaneous lesions after her third IFN-β injection, which reappeared after a subsequent injection and resolved upon discontinuation of therapy. 60 A diffuse maculopapular rash was reported in one patient after her second IFN-β injection, which resolved with antihistamines and corticosteroids but reappeared after the third injection. 61 In addition, there was one report of severe, new-onset dermatomyositis in a male patient after 5 years of IFN-β therapy. There was a temporal association between exacerbation of symptoms and repeated injections, with in vitro studies revealing enhanced type I IFN signaling in lymphoid cells in response to IFN-β. 62 Furthermore, IFN- induced sarcoidosis is a rare reaction but has been reported in seven patients with MS, as well as one with multiple myeloma and one patient with renal cell carcinoma.
14,63-70
In one case, a
patient developed noncaseating granulomas in her skin and in pulmonary lymph nodes after 3 years of therapy. The authors proposed that the development of sarcoidosis was due to a dysregulation in the modulatory role of IFN-β (and more generally type I interferon) expression in chronic inflammation. 64 In addition, multiple reports of new-onset psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis exacerbations have been reported with the use of IFN therapy, with some lesions lasting as long as 6 years after the cessation of IFN-β.
13,71-74
The mechanism is thought to be due to IFN-β’s proinflammatory effect in psoriasis, with upregulation of the interleukin (IL)-23/ T helper cell (Th)17 pathway.
72,75
Glatiramer Acetate
Injection site reactions have been reported in 20% to 80% of patients taking glatiramer acetate, including erythema (66%), inflammation (49%), pain (73%), and pruritus (40%).
76-78
These injection site reactions are generally mild or moderate in severity and disappear spontaneously in hours to days. Similar rates of injection site reactions are seen with the 20- and 40­mg dosing regimens. 76 Aviv et al recently proposed three distinct histologic responses to glatiramer acetate injections: (1) erythematous plaques and nodules with superficial and
https://t.me/medicina_free
sometimes deep inflammatory infiltrates seen in an acute response, (2) morpheaform plaques with perivascular and interstitial dermatitis and thick collagen bundles seen in chronic cases, and (3) lipoatrophy initially present as deep infiltrates of lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and plasma cells, leading to a more chronic infiltration, loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue, and delicate fibrosis. 79 Average onset of injection site reactions after glatiramer acetate therapy is 1.75 years, but reactions may occur as early as the first injection. 79 Possible causes of injection site reactions include the high immunogenicity of glatiramer acetate, repeated trauma to the fat inciting an inflammatory reaction, as well as an allergic reaction to glatiramer acetate components.
80,81
Panniculitis and Lipoatrophy
Glatiramer acetate is characteristically associated with frank panniculitis and subsequent lipoatrophy.
33,82-86
Of all the
injectable disease-modifying therapies for MS, glatiramer acetate is associated with the highest prevalence of lipoatrophy. This occurrence was originally reported to be rare, occurring in 2% of patients in clinical studies, but in a recent study involving full skin examinations in patients taking glatiramer acetate, prevalence was as high as 45%.
84,87
Trauma
alone can cause lipoatrophy, such as the lipoatrophy seen with acupuncture. It is thought that this type of lipoatrophy is caused by the activation of macrophages and release of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-1.
82
Histologically, acupuncture-induced lipoatrophy is characterized by an involutional pattern with thin and elongated fat lobules, with only a few surrounding macrophages. However, on histopathologic examination of glatiramer acetate–associated lipoatrophy, a lobar panniculitis predominates with histiocytes engulfing lipids from necrotic adipocytes and T lymphocytes in the fat lobules. Thickened septa with scattered lymphoid follicles composed of B lymphocytes may also be seen. 33 This type of adverse event appears to be independent of injection technique. 84 Glatiramer acetate panniculitis is thought to be secondary to the drug’s high immunogenicity, as a robust immune response is required
https://t.me/medicina_free
for glatiramer acetate to be therapeutic in MS treatment.
33,80,85
In mild cases, cutaneous lesions may resolve with treatment discontinuation but can reappear if injections are restarted. However, two recent reports suggested that glatiramer acetate– associated lipoatrophy can persist and even progress despite discontinuing treatment.
80,88
Nicolau syndrome (embolia cutis medicamentosa) is a rare complication of the injection of several drugs, leading to cutaneous, subcutaneous, or muscular aseptic necrosis. There are multiple cases of Nicolau syndrome reported in the literature secondary to glatiramer acetate injections.
53,89,90
One
patient who had been given 20 mg glatiramer acetate for 7 years experienced severe, lancinating pain with injection into her lower abdomen after recently increasing the dosage and decreasing the frequency of her injections. 90 Histological examination of the excised specimen revealed predominately lobar panniculitis with lymphocytes and plasma cells surrounding necrotic adipocytes as well as diffuse subcutaneous sclerosis. The authors proposed that this morphealike sclerosis is likely an underreported aspect of glatiramer acetate injection site reactions.
90
Management
Prompt treatment of injection site reactions is important, as it may contribute to continued patient compliance. For the management of injection site reactions, ibuprofen and topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors have been shown to be beneficial in decreasing inflammation.
Adherence to proper injection protocol can help reduce the risk, including prewarming the injection solution, sterile technique, proper needle length, subcutaneous injection (vs. intradermal injection), and regularly changing injection sites.
91
Therefore, the injection technique should be regularly
reviewed with patients to ensure competence and reduce the incidence of secondary complications.
Injection site care is another important aspect in preventing complications. Warm compress application before injection has been shown to be effective in decreasing injection site
https://t.me/medicina_free
reactions. 87 The use of firm pressure and ice packs after injections can also help minimize swelling and bruising. If swelling persists for longer than a day, warm compresses can be applied to the site. If swelling continues to persist, the patient should be instructed to consult a physician to rule out possible infection.
91
In the case of mild to moderate injection site reactions, disease-modifying therapy should not be discontinued. For injection site necrosis, temporary dose reduction or discontinuation may be indicated depending on the severity.
26,29
Local treatment may include topical antibacterials, but it is
important to avoid topical corticosteroids in the case of necrosis, as they can prolong wound healing and increase the risk of infection. 91 Surgical excision and grafting may be indicated in more severe cases. It is important to note that some injection site reactions (i.e., postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, scars, and disfiguring lipoatrophy) may persist.
Infusion Therapies (Alemtuzumab, Natalizumab, Ocrelizumab, Rituximab)
Cutaneous Infusion-Associated Reactions
Alemtuzumab
Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada, Campath-1H®, Genzyme Corporation, Cambridge, MA, USA) is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against cluster of differentiation (CD)52, which is present on the surface of B and T cells. In two phase 3 trials of alemtuzumab in relapsing remitting MS (12 mg on 5 consecutive days and 3 consecutive days 12 mo later), cutaneous infusion-associated reactions occurred in 66% of patients, including rash (47%), urticaria (13%), pruritus (11%), and erythema (4%). 92 Two subsequent studies including a retrospective chart review and a prospective cohort study reported lower rates of cutaneous side effects in 34.2%
https://t.me/medicina_free
and 33.3% of patients, respectively.
93,94
This difference was
attributed to a higher dose of corticosteroids and suggests that pretreatment with corticosteroids and antihistamines may help ameliorate the cutaneous side effects of alemtuzumab infusion.
93
The histopathologic spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions associated with alemtuzumab was recently described.
95
Biopsies of five patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who were treated with alemtuzumab and developed pruritic, erythematous papules, and plaques were reviewed. Histopathologic examination revealed subacute spongiotic dermatitis with multifocal parakeratosis, endothelial activation, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, without prominent eosinophils. The authors hypothesize that the cutaneous reaction may be due to an immunologic response secondary to resident memory T cells in the skin.
95
One case report demonstrated severe generalized bullous drug eruption occurring 10 days after infusion of alemtuzumab. The rash resolved with high-dose oral corticosteroids. A subsequent infusion was given 1 year later with concomitant intravenous and postinfusion corticosteroids. Following the second infusion, the patient developed a more limited, asymptomatic macular dermatitis. 96 Alopecia is another reported adverse effect of alemtuzumab, with two cases of alopecia universalis and three cases of alopecia areata in the literature.
97-99
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura was initially
reported in six patients in a 2008 study, including a fatal case in a patient receiving alemtuzumab 24 mg.
100-103
Across all
clinical trials, immune thrombocytopenic purpura incidence was 2% in patients receiving alemtuzumab 12 or 24 mg. Therefore, patients should be advised to monitor for the development of petechiae, increased bleeding, or easy bruising.
In uncontrolled studies of alemtuzumab for MS, melanoma occurred in 4 of 1486 (0.3%) of alemtuzumab-treated patients. One patient had evidence of locally advanced disease.
104
Postmarketing reports of melanoma include a 34-year-old woman who developed superficial spreading melanoma in a
https://t.me/medicina_free
long-standing nevus after 6 months of treatment with alemtuzumab. The authors hypothesized that alemtuzumab led to impairment of immunosurveillance predisposing to tumorigenesis.
105
Two additional cases of melanoma with
alemtuzumab therapy have been reported in a retrospective study of Austrian patients with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
106
These findings have led the FDA to recommend
routine skin examination at the start of treatment and annually thereafter to monitor for melanoma.
107
Natalizumab
Natalizumab (Tysabri®, Biogen Idec, Cambridge, MA, USA and Elan Pharmaceuticals, Dublin, Ireland) is an adhesion­molecule inhibitor, specifically a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting α4 integrins on the surface of lymphocytes. As a result, natalizumab blocks leukocyte trafficking across the blood-brain barrier.
108
Cutaneous side effects associated
with natalizumab infusions include urticaria, allergic dermatitis, and hypersensitivity reactions, including serum sickness reactions.
109-111
Less common reactions have been
reported in the literature. One patient reportedly developed acquired perforating dermatosis after 6 infusions (300 mg per month).
112
Skin lesions were temporally associated with
infusions, appearing 3 to 5 days after each infusion, resolving 15 days later. In another case, a patient with a 12-year history of MS developed a generalized erythematous drug eruption, edema, and nausea after 1 month of natalizumab.
113
Natalizumab may also induce or aggravate psoriasis in patients with MS. One patient with a family history of psoriasis developed plaque psoriasis 6 years after the initiation of natalizumab. Her disease was well controlled with topical therapies.
114
Another patient in her 30s with a history of mild
psoriasis in adolescence developed a severe disseminated psoriasis eruption that was resistant to topical treatment and phototherapy after six natalizumab infusions. The authors hypothesized a paradoxical immune reaction due to upregulation of other pathways after blocking the migration of lymphocytes across the blood-brain barrier.
115
A middle-aged
https://t.me/medicina_free
man without any history of psoriasis developed severe psoriasis on his extremities after two doses of natalizumab. Treatment was discontinued after six doses because of persistent psoriasis and new-onset foot pain that made walking difficult.
116
Finally, another patient without any prior history
of psoriasis developed biopsy-proven psoriasis on the scalp, trunk, and extremities with associated arthralgias after 19 natalizumab infusions.
117
Treatment was switched to dimethyl
fumarate, and the plaques cleared within 3 months. The role of natalizumab in the development of melanoma is
unclear. A meta-analysis of safety data from clinical trials on natalizumab reported a similar incidence of melanoma among patients who received natalizumab (3/4250; 0.07%) compared with placebo (2/2059; 0.10%).
118
Multiple case reports of
melanoma have been reported with natalizumab therapy, including a case of ocular melanoma as well as urethral melanoma.
119-125
On review of the FDA’s Adverse Event
Reporting System database up until 2014, 137 cases of natalizumab-associated melanoma were identified. The median onset was 4 months after starting therapy, and there were two mucosal melanomas, five ocular melanomas, and nine melanoma-related deaths.
119
In normal melanocytes, α4
integrin is not expressed; however, it is expressed on melanoma cells. Downregulation of α4 integrin has been shown to be involved with melanoma invasion. Thus, one proposed mechanism of natalizumab-potentiated melanoma involves binding α4 integrin to directly promote melanoma cell replication, invasion, and migration.
119
Conversely, the
role of natalizumab in inducing melanoma was challenged by the results of a 4-year dermoscopic study following 74 patients with MS with 775 monitored melanocytic skin lesions. This investigation yielded substantial dermoscopic changes in only
1.54% of cases.
126
All excised lesions were benign, and
immunohistological studies and proliferation and invasion assays revealed a lack of detectable levels of melanoma progression markers (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine [SPARC] and β3 integrin) in nevi. This study
concluded that natalizumab therapy does not increase the risk for nevus transformation.
126
Nevertheless, further data are
