Common Infections with CLL: Prevention and Treatment

Description

As colder weather approaches and more time is spent indoors, the risk of respiratory infections like COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and bacterial pneumonia increases. Other infections to be aware of include infections affecting skin, gastrointestinal, and the urinary tract. Because everyone diagnosed with CLL / SLL are considered immunocompromised a variety of serious infections can occur.

Join CLL Society and Dr. William Werbel for an in-depth discussion on managing infection risks. We’ll explore respiratory and other significant infections, review essential infection control measures including reactivation of prior infections, discuss treatment options, vaccinations, and outline special precautions that are necessary to help protect those who are immunocompromised.
