Are There Side Effects of Autologous Immunotherapy?
While autologous immunotherapy can be effective, it can also lead to severe side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity. CRS, caused by a large release of cytokines into the bloodstream, can result in fever, low blood pressure, and in severe cases, organ dysfunction. Neurotoxicity may manifest as confusion, seizures, or encephalopathy.
