Abstract:
Since its approval in 1997 by the US Food and Drug Administration, rituximab has been approved for use in certain B-cell lymphomas and treatment-resistant rheumatoid arthritis. Over the past 10 years, many published reports have suggested rituximab's efficacy in several inflammatory conditions in dermatology. This article includes a review of the mechanism of action, dosing, side-effect profile, and the current literature for various off-label uses of this CD20+ B-cell antagonist, rituximab.
