Subcutaneous vs. Intravenous Immunoglobulins in Patients with CLL
Secondary antibody immunodeficiency is a common complication in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and infections, along with secondary malignancies, are the leading cause of death in these patients. Hypogammaglobulinemia can be managed with immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IGRT). Besides the classic intravenous form (IVIG), a subcutaneous form (SCIG) is also available. An Italian retrospective study published in the journal Current Oncology compared their efficacy in secondary immunodeficiency in CLL patients.
