Alemtuzumab is an anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). It produces rapid depletion of T and B lymphocytes, which could predispose to opportunistic infections. We report one patient with MS who develops cytomegalovirus (CMV) primary infection after a third cycle of alemtuzumab, with spontaneous recovery associated with rapid lymphocyte reconstitution.
阿仑单抗是一种抗 CD52 单克隆抗体,已获批准用于治疗多发性硬化症(MS)。它可迅速耗竭 T 和 B 淋巴细胞,从而使患者易发生机会性感染。我们报告了 1 例 MS 患者,在接受第 3 个周期的阿仑单抗治疗后发生巨细胞病毒(CMV)原发感染,伴随淋巴细胞快速重建而自发恢复。
