Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors commonly cause gastrointestinal immune-related adverse effects. These patients also carry an increased risk of concomitant infections. This 66-year-old man with immune checkpoint inhibitor colitis was discovered to have concurrent Yersinia and Cytomegalovirus colitis. Such infections may mimic or complicate disease course. Hence, clinicians must monitor patient symptoms, have a low threshold for infectious testing and colonoscopy, and consider treatment strategies to mitigate their risk.
