Abstract P1-10-19: Skin, and nail, infections associated with the addition of pertuzumab to trastuzumab-based chemotherapy

Conclusions: We believe these infections are a result of combining pertuzumab with trastuzumab as 2 pts received no concurrent chemotherapy. An awareness of this complication is critical as some infections may be life-threatening. We have initiated patient education to ensure awareness of this potential complication.Citation Format: Mortimer JE, Yuan Y, Jung J, Kruper L, Stewart D, Chung S, Yu WK, Mendelsohn M, D'Apuzzo M, Tegtmeier B, Dadwal S.
