  • Title: Metastatic renal cell cancer: interleukin-2 toxicity induced by contrast agent injection.
    Author: Abi-Aad AS, Figlin RA, Belldegrun A, deKernion JB.
    Journal: J Immunother (1991); 1991 Aug; 10(4):292-5. PubMed ID: 1931865.
    Abstract:
    We describe a clinical syndrome occurring after contrast medium injection in patients who previously received recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) and recombinant interferon-alpha 2A treatment for metastatic renal cancer. The clinical picture mimics many aspects of rIL-2-related systemic side effects. The patients were managed conservatively but the potential for severe manifestations can occur, requiring more intensive treatment.
