Autoimmune leukopenia is a rare disorder but may cause severe life-threatening infections. Here we report a case involving a 58-year-old male with a history of severe autoimmune leukopenia that was highly refractory to therapies targeting T and B linage cells but had a durable response to daratumumab. This case management suggested that targeting plasma cells may be considered for refractory autoimmune leukopenia.
