Abstract
dc.description.abstract
New therapeutic approaches that include depletion of B cells using
rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the B cell specific antigen CD-20
have been developed for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report the case
of a 18 years old girl with SLE that did not respond and experienced adverse effects with the use
of hydroxycloroquine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine and high-dose
steroids. Rituximab was given weekly at 375 mg/m2 for four doses. The drug was well tolerated
and the patient had no adverse reactions. She remains asymptomatic three months later
