Abstract :
mmunocheckpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has provided significant clinical improvements in the treatment of severalmalignancies. The purpose of this report is to increase awareness of hypereosinophilia associated with checkpoint inhibitors, atopic that has been rarely reported. Hypereosinophilia may need to be addressed especially if eosinophil counts increase to levelswhere hypereosinophilic visceral complications can occur. We are presenting a case of a 57-year-old male withhypereosinophilia that was seen in the setting of progression of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer during and afternivolumab treatment.
