Deskripsi

Abstract We report a case of anti‐transcriptional intermediary factor 1γ (TIF1γ) antibody‐positive dermatomyositis following durvalumab treatment. The patient was successfully treated with pulse steroid therapy, high‐dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and tacrolimus. Durvalumab may induce dermatomyositis, and early diagnosis and aggressive therapy are crucial to prevent severe dermatomyositis, which is potentially treatable.
