Den højere hyppighed af neutropeni hos patienter behandlet med MabThera og kemoterapi var dog ikke forbundet med en højere hyppighed af infektioner og infestationer sammenlignet med patienter, som fik kemoterapi alene, og neutropenien var ikke forlænget i MabThera- gruppen.
However, the higher incidence of neutropenia in patients treated with MabThera and chemotherapy was not associated with a higher incidence of infections and infestations compared to patients treated with chemotherapy alone and the neutropenia was not prolonged in the MabThera group.
