[News in the Supportive Care of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia].
Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia have disrupted cellular and humoral immunity with quantitative and qualitative impairment of the cells of the immune system. Immunity disbalance leads to increased incidence of infections and autoimmune cytopenias. Supportive care for chronic lymphocytic leukemia focuses on prevention and treatment of these complications and consists of antimicrobial prophylaxis, substitution of immunoglobulins, immunosuppressive therapy, growth factors and blood transfusions.
