Ravulizumab in NMOSD with associated interstitial pneumonitis in a 59-year-old female patient: a case report

Overall, this case highlights that early targeted immunotherapy with ravulizumab within two weeks of attack onset, supported by IA, can be an effective choice for controlling NMOSD disease activity and improving patient outcomes. NMOSD-related interstitial pneumonitis, though rare, underscores the need for vigilance in recognizing atypical manifestations of the disease.

Abstract

Overall, this case highlights that early targeted immunotherapy with ravulizumab within two weeks of attack onset, supported by IA, can be an effective choice for controlling NMOSD disease activity and improving patient outcomes. NMOSD-related interstitial pneumonitis, though rare, underscores the need for vigilance in recognizing atypical manifestations of the disease.
