İnterferon alfa kullanan malign melanomlu bir hastada ortaya çıkan mani: Olgu sunumu

İnterferon alfa (IFN-α), immün sistem üzerindeki uyarıcı etkileri nedeniyle malign melanom, viral hepatitler ve multipl skleroz gibi bazı hastalıkların tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. IFN-α kullanımına bağlı olarak halsizlik, ateş, baş ağrısı ve kas ağrısı gibi grip benzeri belirtilerin yanı sıra, depresyon, anksiyete, psikoz, mani, intihar düşünceleri, somnolans ve deliryum gibi nöropsikiyatrik belirtiler de bildirilmektedir. Bu yazıda bipolar bozukluk için aile öyküsü bulunan, malign melanom nedeni ile IFN-α kullanımı sırasında mani gelişen bir olgu sunulmuştur.

Interferon alpha induced mania in a patient with malign melanoma: Case report

Interferon alpha is commonly used in the treatment of several diseases because of their stimulating effects on immune response, such as viral hepatitis, malign melanoma and multiple sclerosis. It was reported that IFN-α induce neuropsychiatric side effects such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, mania, suicidal ideation, somnolence and delirium in addition to flue like symptoms including weakness, fever, headache and myalgia. In this paper was presented a case of IFN-α induced mania in a patient treated for malign melanoma and with the family history of bipolar disorder.
