Nivolumab and interferon-γ rescue therapy to control mixed mould and bacterial superinfection after necrotizing fasciitis and septic shock

Résumé

Immunosuppression is a major feature of septic shock and patients are at increased risk for opportunistic infections. We describe a successful use of immunostimulation to treat mixed mould and bacterial superinfection in a previously healthy 38-year-old female patient admitted for severe extensive fasciitis. Interferon gamma associated with nivolumab reversed successfully deactivation of immune cells assessed by altered expressions of monocyte human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) and lymphocyte programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1). Immunosuppressed patients in ICU with invasive bacterial and fungal infections may benefit from immunostimulation.
