Nivolumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that binds to the Programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby reversing tumor-induced suppression of tumor-specific T cells. 1, 2 Nivolumab is currently approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, squamous cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer. Although generally well tolerated, nivolumab can induce immune-related pneumonitis. We herein describe a case of severe pneumonitis after nivolumab treatment for melanoma. A 73-year-old woman with metastatic melanoma (brain, lung) presented to our institution with fever, fatigue, and non-productive cough. Five months prior to presentation, she had begun treatment with nivolumab (2 mg/kg, every three weeks). After six cycles of treatment, one week prior to presentation, she developed fever, fatigue, and non-productive cough. Her past medical history was significant for thoracic aortic aneurysm status post stent graft. She was a nonsmoker and had no history of chronic lung disease. On examination, body temperature was 37.0 C, blood pressure was 121/75 mm Hg, heart rate was 82/min, and oxygen saturation on room air was 95%. Her physical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory tests demonstrated white blood cell count of 10,970/μL with 85.6% neutrophils and 6.1% lymphocytes, C-reactive protein level of 14.3 mg/dL (normal< 0.3 mg/dL), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level of 138 IU/L (normal, 119e229 IU/L), and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) level of 250 U/mL (normal< 500 U/mL). Arterial blood gas analysis on room air showed pH of 7.479, PaCO2 of 37.6 mmHg and PaO2 of 61.0 mmHg. Chest radiography showed a right lung infiltrate and blunting of the right costophrenic angle. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a consolidation with air bronchograms, ground-glass attenuations, and patchy shadows, predominantly in the right lung. These abnormalities mainly involved the dependent lung regions. A right pleural effusion was also present. A metastatic lung tumor was found in the left lower lobe, but no abnormalities were observed around the tumor (Fig. 1). Although sputum culture did not reveal any microorganisms, including mycobacteria and fungi, she was initially diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia due to her symptoms and CT findings. Nivolumab was discontinued, and tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) and levofloxacin (LVFX) antibiotics were initiated, but her symptoms did not improve. On hospital day 11, TAZ/PIPC was switched to meropenem (MEPM). However, she developed progressive dyspnea with severe hypoxemia, and the diffuse consolidation, ground-glass attenuations, and pleural effusions worsened on CT imaging, in a pattern suggestive of diffuse alveolar damage. On hospital day 16, she was transferred to the intensive care unit and started on mechanical ventilation. The serum level of surfactant protein-D was increased to 213.7 ng/mL (normal< 110 ng/mL), but LDH (243 IU/L) and KL-6 (327 U/mL) were within normal limits. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) showed a total cell count of 3.1 Â105 cells/mL with 77.7% macrophages, 8.7% lymphocytes, and 14.3% neutrophils, with no evidence of bacteria, fungi or malignancy. The pleural fluid was also sterile. An echocardiogram did not demonstrate any underlying cardiac dysfunction. Her PaO2/FIO2 ratio was 131, and she was ultimately diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to nivolumab treatment (Grade 4). Intravenous methylprednisolone (mPSL) pulse therapy (1 g per day for three days) and continuous infusion of sivelestat sodium hydrate were initiated. Her respiratory …
