Core Tip A patient with squamous lung cancer was treated with triplimab combined with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radical thoracic radiation therapy. Despite the good therapeutic effect, he developed a grade 3 immune-related acute kidney injury, prompting high-dose corticosteroids treatment. Eight weeks later, the patient developed severe pneumonia with spontaneous pneumothorax, and was diagnosed with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) co-infection with the herpes simplex virus 1 and cytomegalovirus. PJP is rare but might occur in patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor adverse events, highlighting the need to be differentiated from tumor progression or immune-related adverse events.
