An opportunistic infection associated with ruxolitinib, a novel janus kinase 1,2 inhibitor.

Nicholas G Wysham1, Donald R Sullivan2, Gopal Allada3.   

Abstract

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.
