Rituximab-Rescue Therapy in Autoimmune Neurological Disorders by AK Roy in Online Journal of Neurology and Brain Disorders in Lupine Publishers
Demyelinating diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and cases of long
segment myelitis, neuromuscular disease' like Myasthenia Gravis'and Autoimmune Encephalitis have an autoimmune basis and
occur in a relapsing remitting course. Achieving and maintaining
remission in these patients is quite challenging. Steroids are used
for maintaining remission, but its metabolic side effects ultimately
are deleterious to the patient. Immunomodulators for remission
and Gamma globulin for acute exacerbations are used but are an
expensive mode of treatment. All patients may not be able to afford
them.
