“…Infections reported as drug-related adverse effects include opportunistic bacterial infections of the respiratory or urinary tracts (e.g., S. pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae), exogenous viral infections (e.g., acute respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus and influenza A and B viruses) and viral reactivations (e.g., cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus). Furthermore, increased risk of infection was also observed in a study exploring the effects of daratumumab in patients with systemic light-chain amyloidosis [94] and in clinical trials using isatuximab, a separate anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, for multiple myeloma [95,96]. Of note, many patients undergoing anti-CD38-based immunotherapy are in relapsed or refractory phases of the disease and have been heavily treated, which implies that immunosuppression derived from previous lines of treatment could influence the risk of infection.…”
