Abstract



Background


It has been thought that poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) injections do not have inflammatory side effects. Recent evidence shows that local/regional/systemic delayed adverse effects may appear with its use.



Objective


To evaluate the clinical complaints, treatment response and long-term follow-up of non-HIV patients with delayed immune-mediated adverse effects related to PLLA injections.
