Lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin and Kaposi's sarcoma were found to involve high excretion of polyamines. Therapy with reaferon combined with prospidine and indomethacin improved the clinical course of the process and was associated with a decrease of polyamine excretion. Measurement of the urine polyamines may be used for the assessment of the treatment efficacy in malignant lymphomas of the skin and in Kaposi's sarcoma.
