Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy carries the risk of inducing severe and life-threatening toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, and infection. Although CRS and infections have similar symptoms, their treatment strategies differ, and early diagnosis is very important. For CRS and infections, the fastest detection time currently takes more than 24 h, so a quick and simple method to identify a fever after CAR T-cell infusion is urgently needed. Methods: We enrolled 27 patients with recurrent fever treated with different types of CAR T-cells, including cluster of differentiation (CD) 7, CD19, CD22, and CD19-CD22 bicistronic CAR T-cells, and evaluated the infection events occurring in these patients. We detailed the morphology of CAR T-cells in peripheral blood smears (PBS) and reported the infection events, CAR transgene copy number, and inflammatory indicators within the first month after treatment. Results: Similar morphological characteristics were observed in the PBS of different CAR T-cells, namely, enlarged cell bodies, deep outside and shallow inside basophilic blue cytoplasm, and natural killer (NK) cell-like purplish red granules. There were ten infections in nine of the twenty-seven patients (33%). The percentage of atypical lymphocytes in PBS was significantly associated with CAR transgene copy number and absolute lymphocyte count in all patients. The atypical lymphocyte percentage was significantly higher in the non-infection group. Conclusions: In conclusion, the unique morphology of CAR T-cells in PBS can be used to evaluate CAR T-cell kinetics and provide reliable evidence for the rapid early identification of fever after CAR T-cell infusion.
