About Cytokine release syndrome.

Cytokine release syndrome is an acute systemic inflammatory response caused by the massive, rapid release of pro-inflammatory cytokines into the circulation.

It primarily occurs as a serious adverse complication in patients receiving targeted immunotherapies, most notably chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies and bispecific antibody constructs.

Pathophysiologically driven by the hyperactivation of T cells, monocytes, and macrophages, the syndrome is clinically characterized by persistent fever, tachycardia, fatigue, and headache, which can progress to profound hypotension, capillary leak, hypoxia, and multiorgan dysfunction.
