In the 1980s, the purine analogues chemotherapy agents, fludarabine, deoxycoformycin, chlorodeoxyadenosine, were introduced into clinical usage for the care of patients with a variety of hematologic malignancies. These drugs have been mainly used in indolent lymphoproliferative neoplasms with effective hematologic responses, but they have been accompanied by a different spectrum of infections because of selective T-cell abnormalities which these agents determine.
