Pulmonary complications include pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). We report a rare complication of chemotherapy-induced DAH. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70 year-old man with esophageal adenocarcinoma presented with fever and shortness of breath that developed four days after FOLFOX. In the emergency department, he was tachypneic, hypoxemic, and in respiratory distress requiring emergent non-invasive ventilation. Initial serology was significant for normoytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. CT chest imaging showed increased bilateral peripheral reticulations with scattered ground glass opacities and mediastinal lymphadenopathy with no evidence of pulmonary emboli (Figure 1). His respiratory status deteriorated with worsening hypoxemia, requiring emergent endotracheal intubation, and transfer to the medical intensive care unit (MICU). Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. The lavage cell differential showed a neutrophil predominance. BAL had progressively more hemorrhagic return with each sequential aliquot consistent with the diagnosis of DAH (Figure 2). Methylprednisolone was initiated at 1 mg/kg. The patient’s oxygenation requirements significantly decreased over the next 3 days and was successfully extubated to room air. He was subsequently downgraded to the general medical ward. DISCUSSION: FOLFOX contains leucovorin, 5-FU and oxaliplatin, and is commonly used as adjuvant therapy in advanced colorectal cancers as well as metastatic esophageal carcinomas. Toxicities include pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). It is speculated that FOLFOX causes systemic delayed hypersensitivity reaction by inflammation via IL1, TNFa, and IL6, which is particularly high in patients receiving this regimen. DAH may be associated with a variety of different systemic diseases and medications, and if diagnosed, its underlying cause should be sought. Imaging may be nonspecific and can reveal patchy, diffuse ground glass opacities. Laboratory findings, such as a drop in hemoglobin may or may not be apparent. Ultimately the diagnosis of DAH is confirmed with three sequential aliquots of sterile saline with increasingly hemorrhagic return on bronchoalveolar lavage. Theoretically corticosteroids reduce inflammation instigated by the malignancy itself as well as the chemotherapy. However, corticosteroids are reported to have varying degrees of efficacy in the treatment of DAH, though likely have better effect when used with early symptom onset. Fortunately, our patient recovered enough lung function to be extubated. CONCLUSIONS: There are very few case reports linking FOLFOX to DAH, and this case adds to the scant literature on this adverse effect.
