A pronounced vitiliginous reaction developed at the sites of MER/BCG injections given as an adjuvant immunotherapy to a patient with malignant melanoma. To our knowledge, this is the third report on patients exhibiting vitiligo apparently induced by immunotherapy and the first in association with MER. This association may be a sign for an antimelanocytic effect and may offer a further confirmation for the autoimmune nature of vitiligo.
在对一名恶性黑色素瘤患者进行辅助免疫治疗时,在给予MER/卡介苗注射的部位出现了明显的白癜风样反应。据我们所知,这是关于免疫治疗明显诱发白癜风患者的第三份报告,也是第一份与MER相关的报告。这种关联可能是抗黑素细胞效应的一个迹象,并且可能为白癜风的自身免疫性质提供进一步的证实。
