Infections in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Evolving Risks and Prevention Strategies

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 116, Issue 3, Page 204-214, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), reflecting both intrinsic immune dysfunction and therapy‐related immunosuppression. The pathogenesis of immunodeficiency in CLL is multifactorial: neoplastic B cells impair humoral immunity, T cells are functionally exhausted, and ...

Pneumonia Risk in Institutionalized Older Adults With Severe Functional Dependency: An Exploratory Analysis Using Standardized Long‐Term Care Assessment Data

Geriatrics &Gerontology International, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
A simple, routinely collected long‐term care assessment identified key predictors of pneumonia—male sex, hypoalbuminemia, impaired cognitive ability for daily decision‐making, and weight loss of ≥ 3% over the past 6 months. Tracking short‐term weight loss provides a practical risk marker for institutionalized older adults with severe functional ...

Sex Differences in Lung Immunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological sex has a significant impact on how the immune system develops and responds to foreign and self‐antigens. Sex differences exist in innate and adaptive immune cells, both at homeostasis and in the context of infection and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
