Hi Richard,
In addition to low total memory B-cells and low class- switched memory B-cells, the immunodeficient state following repeated Rituximab treatment is also due to high numbers of immature transitional peripheral B-cells within the naive population, defined as CD38hi, CD24 hi (Anolik et al, "B cell reconstitution after rituximab treatment of lymphoma recapitulates B cell ontogeny" clinical immunology 2007, 122, 139-145. I recently evaluated a woman on IVIG for hypogammaglobulinaemia following multiple courses of rituximab for NHL, she also had previous thyroid ca, interestingly. Her naive B-cells were predominantly CD24+ but CD 38 low, unlike Anolik et al findings. I'm not sure of this exact B-cell differentiation stage (could someone please help?) but it nonetheless suggests that B-cell maturation has been frozen at the pre-germinal stage, resulting in the majority of naive B cells, likely due to rituximab damage of lymph-node germinal centres.
It may be interesting to cite this data to your patient to buttress your argument that AB deficiency is unlikely to be transient. I'd also be interested to know what the phenotype of the naive B cells in his case is, should you decide to measure CD24 and CD38 expression on his IgD+CD27- cells.
All the best,
Stan

Richard:
I agree that he is unlikely to respond with effective antibody responses. Specifically he has low total IgG and IgG to VZV despite getting a higher dose VZV vaccine in Zostavax versus Varivax, and his switched memory B-cells are close to nil.
Although he could have Valtrex available should he break out after the vaccine, why take any risk?

Subject: [cis-pidd] varicella vaccine prior to IGIV (EXTERNAL EMAIL)
I am seeing a 63yo pediatric ophthalmologist who was treated for mantle cell lymphoma with an aggressive regimen including retuximab five years ago. Had medullary thyroid cancer 15 years ago and has had recurrent disease.
He was treated wit IGIV for about two years after his lymphoma diagnosis but then therapy was stopped. He has recurrent respiratory tract infections but no pneumonias, mostly sinusitis. Because of his recurrent infections and lab studies, he is willing to resume his IGIV therapy. Despite my discussion, he believes that his abnormalities of humoral immunity will be transitory and therefore he wants to be immunized prior to restarting IGIV. He wants varicella vaccine (see lab) and I am reluctant to give him a live virus vaccine. He received Zostvax about 2-3 years ago without difficulty. He also wants Prevnar and dTap despite my suggestion that he is unlikely to respond well. I have no problem giving those vaccines. By the way, the elevated IgM is not clonal at the protein level.
Would you give him varicella vaccine?
Thank you,
Richard Wasserman

INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: B-Cell Memory and Naive Panel
This panel is indicated for patients with suspected immune
deficiencies, especially Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID),
and to assess reconstitution of B-cell subsets after bone marrow
or stem cell transplant. Subsets measured: B-cells (CD19+), total
memory B-cells (CD19+ CD27+), class switched memory B-cells (CD19+
CD27+ IgD- IgM-), non-switched/marginal zone memory B-cells (CD19+
CD27+ IgD+ IgM+), IgM only memory B-cells (CD19+ CD27+ IgD-IgM+),
and naive B-cells (CD19+ CD27-IgD+).

According to the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry, the
reference interval for Thyroglobulin (TG) should be related to
euthyroid patients and not for patients who underwent thyroidectomy.
TG reference intervals for these patients depend on the residual
mass of the thyroid tissue left after surgery. Establishing a
post-operative baseline is recommended.
The assay limit of quantitation is 0.1 ng/mL
