Abstract

Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of cancers, their role in the pathogenesis of chronic infections remains unclear. Here, we present the case of a patient on a cocktail of checkpoint inhibitors who presented with severe bilateral gonococcal conjunctivitis, orbital cellulitis and vitritis, without a history of genital infection.<br />Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright: © 2021 Oman Ophthalmic Society.)
