摘要
We administered rituximab monoclonal antibody to five patients suffering from a lymphoproliferative CD20-positive disease associated, at diagnosis or after starting treatment, with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). After treatment with rituximab we observed an improvement of AIHA in all cases, and, in one case, improvement of the autoimmune thrombocytopenia associated with the AIHA. There were no relevant side effects.
