Re: Hematological immune related adverse events after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors

We read with great interest the article by Kramer et  al. [1] on the haematological adverse effects associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The authors have extensively discussed several rare but clinically significant hematological adverse effects that may also prove to be fatal in some cases. The adverse effect that drew our attention, in particular, is haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH is a potentially fatal clinical syndrome that results from a severe, uncontrolled hyperinflammatory state, which may be triggered by several causes such as infection, malignancy, drugs and so on [2].
