We report a case of Cryptococcus neoformans pneumonia in a patient taking ruxolitinib, a janus kinase 1,2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of myelofibrosis. We hypothesize that ruxolitinib contributed to this infection through its effects on cell-mediated immunity. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for intracellular or opportunistic infections associated with this novel drug class.
我们报告了一例接受鲁索替尼(一种用于治疗骨髓纤维化的 Janus 激酶 1、2 抑制剂)治疗的患者发生新型隐球菌肺炎的病例。我们推测,鲁索替尼通过对细胞介导免疫的影响导致了这种感染。临床医生应该意识到与这种新型药物类别相关的细胞内或机会性感染的潜在风险。
