Immune checkpoint inhibitor‐related haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a patient with non‐small cell lung carcinoma

Key message Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has been reported as a rare complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI); however, ICI‐related HLH is a life‐threatening and comparatively late adverse event. Early diagnosis is critical, and it should be included in the differential diagnos...

description Key message Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has been reported as a rare complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI); however, ICI‐related HLH is a life‐threatening and comparatively late adverse event. Early diagnosis is critical, and it should be included in the differential diagnosis especially in patients with cytopenia with fever and hyperferritinaemia.
