Hypogammaglobulinemia is a poorly described complication of chemotherapy in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, 15-39 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The majority of AYAs treated on a Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster-based ALL regimen experienced hypogammaglobulinemia (65.0% [13/20]). Febrile neutropenia episodes (throughout the treatment course) and infectious events during maintenance occurred more frequently in hypogammaglobulinemic patients compared with patients with normal immunoglobulin G levels ( = 7) (median 1.0 vs. 0.0, = 0.02; 7.0 vs. 3.0, = 0.02, respectively). Hypogammaglobulinemia did not impact overall or event-free survival. Further studies are needed to elucidate the etiology of hypogammaglobulinemia and to establish criteria for immunoglobulin replacement in these patients.
低丙种球蛋白血症是青少年和年轻成人(15-39 岁)急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)化疗中描述不佳的并发症。在基于柏林-法兰克福-慕尼黑 ALL 方案治疗的大多数 AYA 中,出现低丙种球蛋白血症(65.0% [13/20])。与免疫球蛋白 G 水平正常的患者相比,低丙种球蛋白血症患者更常发生发热性中性粒细胞减少症发作(整个治疗过程中)和维持期感染事件(= 7)(中位数 1.0 与 0.0,= 0.02;7.0 与 3.0,= 0.02)。低丙种球蛋白血症并不影响总生存或无事件生存。需要进一步研究阐明低丙种球蛋白血症的病因,并为这些患者建立免疫球蛋白替代的标准。
