Abstract:IntroductionThe impact of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) on immunoglobulin (Ig) quantities in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has not been extensively studied.MethodsWe analyzed Ig levels in 45 stable patients with indolent CLL (without indication for treatment) and 87 patients with progressive disease before first‐line treatment. Fifty‐five patients were evaluated again after the treatment with CIT.ResultsWe observed significantly lower levels of all Ig classes and subclasses in patients with progr… Show more
