Recrudescence of Natalizumab-Induced Pneumonitis and Peripheral Hypereosinophilia: Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
We report a rare case of recrudescence of natalizumab‐induced pneumonitis and peripheral hypereosinophilia, thereby uniquely satisfying the re‐exposure principle outlined by the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale. This strengthens the evidence of rare but serious side effects of natalizumab, emphasising the importance of monitoring for ...
