Abstract:

B cell aplasia (BCA) is a common adverse side effect in pediatric patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) following CD19-chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CD19 CAR-T) therapy. The duration of BCA has an impact on the immune status and prognosis of patients. A thorough understanding of BCA helps physicians choose treatment plans in a scientific, normative, and reasonable manner, reducing the risk of infection in pediatric leukemia patients after CAR-T treatment and improving their prognosis and quality of life.

Key words: B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, CD19 CAR-T, B cell aplasia, child
