What is Severe Anti‐thymocyte Globulin‐induced Cytokine Release Syndrome in a Renal Transplant Patient about?
Cytokine release syndrome is a systemic inflammatory response that can be triggered by a variety of factors such as infection or exposure to certain drugs, particularly novel T cell-engaging immunotherapies. Severe cytokine release syndrome as a complication following treatment with anti-thymocyte globulin, although recognised, is not well-reported in the literature. We report the case of a 64-year-old man who developed catastrophic cytokine release syndrome after receiving anti-thymocyte globulin during kidney transplantation. We highlight the importance of prompt recognition of severe cytokine release syndrome with strategies to aid survival in life-threatening cases.
