RESUMO
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is characterised by normocytic normochromic anaemia, reticulocytopenia and reduced erythroid precursors in bone marrow. PRCA as an immune-related adverse event secondary to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is rare. Steroids are usually used first line to treat ICI-induced PRCA. Here, we report a case of ICI-induced PRCA with no response to steroids but where intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin was successfully used second line. ICI therapy was reinitiated following PRCA resolution. PRCA recurrence did not occur.
