Case Report: Successful Use of Ruxolitinib to Treat Interstitial Pneumonia as an Unusual Primary Presentation in Primary Myelofibrosis-Two Birds with One Stone
Provisionally accepted- Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College, Xiamen, China
Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a rare clinical presentation of primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Case presentation: We report a case of ILD as the main manifestation on admission. A 58year-old male was diagnosed with PMF owing to worsening anemia following treatment failure for conventional interstitial pneumonia. Results: Anemia and interstitial pneumonia both significantly improved following treatment with a Janus kinase 2 gene inhibitor. In this report, we discuss the possible mechanisms underlying PMF combined with ILD.
Keywords: Interstitial pneumonia, Janus Kinase 2, Primary Myelofibrosis, Ruxolitinib, ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 2
