Infectious complications in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the era of new therapies: a review based on firstline clinical trials

Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is associated with increased susceptibility to infections due to the immunodeficiency inherent to the disease and its treatment. In the past decade, the development of new therapies, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and BCL-2 inhibitors (BCL2i), has improved clinical outcomes in CLL. However, these targeted therapies may increase or promote the development of new infectious complications. This review examines the infectious complications in CLL patients, their incidence with first-line targeted therapies, as well as their prevention and management strategies.La leucemia linfocítica crónica (LLC) se relaciona con un aumento de susceptibilidad a infecciones, debido a la inmunodeficiencia que provoca, tanto la propia enfermedad, como los tratamientos utilizados en ella. En la pasada década, el desarrollo de nuevas terapias, incluyendo los inhibidores de la tirosina quinasa de Bruton (iBTK) y los inhibidores de BCL-2 (iBCL2), ha mejorado el pronóstico de los pacientes con LLC. Sin embargo, estas nuevas terapias podrían estar promoviendo el desarrollo de nuevas infecciones. Esta revisión analiza las complicaciones infecciosas en pacientes con LLC, su incidencia en los tratamientos con terapias dirigidas de primera línea, y sus posibles estrategias de prevención y manejo.Grado en Medicin
