This case highlights fatal non-hepatic hyperammonemia post-glofitamab in an immunocompromised individual, suggesting urgent monitoring needs.
This case highlights the Ureaplasma urealyticum infection as a critical precipitant of fatal NHHA following glofitamab therapy, occurring in the background of possible genetic metabolic susceptibility (an unverified heterozygous SLC25A13 variant of uncertain functional significance). These findings underscore the critical need for early blood ammonia monitoring and rapid mNGS screening in immunocompromised patients with unexplained encephalopathy. We propose a structured diagnostic algorithm to expedite the recognition and management of this reversible yet life-threatening condition.
