Popis: Hypogammaglobinemia is a well-recognized complication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); however, the risk factors that lead to this complication after treatment with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies are not well understood. Using the Mayo Clinic CLL database, a retrospective chart review was conducted on patients enrolled between January 1995 and September 2017 who had pre- and post-treatment immunoglobulin values. The relationship between immunoglobulin values prior to treatment as well as post-treatment with clinical variables and overall survival (OS) was evaluated. Hypogammaglobinemia was defined as serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels
