8 Pulmonary Aspergillosis 75-year-old male with Crohn’s disease had received 10 infusions of natalizumab –Concomitant NSAID use and high-dose steroids in tapering regimen Perforated duodenal ulcer, severe GI hemorrhage, and peritonitis 1 month following last dose of natalizumab Spent several weeks in hospital, including ICU –CT of lungs showed bilateral infiltrates –Sputum culture revealed Aspergillus sp Patient developed multi-organ failure and died 3 months after last dose of natalizumab CD301 / 303 / 351
9 Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia 69-year-old male with Crohn’s disease had received 34 infusions of natalizumab History of cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with varices, portal hypertension, splenomegaly, and ascites –Developed hepatic encephalopathy 1 month after last dose of natalizumab –Natalizumab stopped; patient treated and recovered Hospitalized 1 month later with hepatic encephalopathy, acute renal failure, and anemia –Treated in ICU, intubated, and transfused –Sputum culture revealed PCP –Developed multi-organ failure and died CD301 / 303 / 351
10 Burkholderia cepacia Pneumonia 62-year-old woman with CD, type II DM, HT, and tobacco use –Received 3 infusions of natalizumab –Developed non-productive cough with dyspnea –Cardiomegaly, hydrothorax, pulmonary vessel congestion with atelectasis Diagnosed and treated as CHF –Bronchoscopic lavage revealed Burkholderia cepacia Treated with antibiotics
