Anti-PD-1 pembrolizumab induced autoimmune diabetes in Chinese patient

Abstract

Autoimmune diabetes induced by anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy is a rare, but life threatening immune-related side effect. Physicians should closely monitor diabetes-related indexes of patients who have been undergoing the treatment of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
