Retrospective analysis highlights hypogammaglobulinemia in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, suggesting need for prophylactic antibiotics.

This research aims to evaluate clinical and laboratory risk factors related to hypogammaglobulinemia in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients.
Conducted a retrospective study of 44 CLL patients
Assessed serum immunoglobulin levels and clinical parameters
Used multivariate and univariate analyses with STATA and Fisher's exact tests
75% of CLL patients exhibited hypogammaglobulinemia
Absolute lymphocyte count greater than 15 × 10⁹/L predicted hypogammaglobulinemia with OR 2.71
Infection history observed in 36.4% of patients

Saeed et al. (2025) studied this question.
