摘要
Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody to CD52 that has activity in T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. This study alms to describe the complications and outcomes of a subset of patients with mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome who were treated with alemtuzumab. Four of 8 patients, with no prior history of cardiac problems, developed significant cardiac toxicity (congestive heart failure or arrhythmia) that mostly improved after alemtuzumab discontinuation. The role of this agent in potentially inducing important cardiac side effects is suggested and argues for further investigation.
