Navigating Immune Challenges in CLL

Infection Prevention and Management

We recognise that receiving a CLL diagnosis is scary and finding accessible information on CLL can be challenging. The Advocacy Working Group of the CLL IC Task Force, spearheaded by CLLAN, is committed to supporting people living with CLL and immune challenges as well as their family and carers to understand how they can adapt to their new normal and live healthy and full lives. Theis educational resource is informed by the lived experiences of patients, advocates, carers and leading clinical experts around the world.

Across 2025 and 2026, the CLL IC Task Force Advocacy Working Group will develop three educational resources. These resources are available in English and will be translated into additional languages and made available on this page.

This, the first educational resource focuses on preventing and managing infections, offering practical information on strategies to prevent and cope with an infection as someone living with a weaker immune system, to support a full and active life with CLL.

This resource is intended to complement – not replace – advice from your healthcare team. Please speak to your healthcare team to create a personal plan for preventing and managing infections. It is now available for download:

This resource will be useful for our member organisations to share with their patient community and will also offer value to individual patients with CLL and their care partners, who seek further information about infections and CLL.

Clinicians are encouraged to share this guide with patients as a trusted resource that complements in-clinic discussions and helps individuals make informed decisions about their care.
