Abstract |
"Rituximab is a chimeric mouse human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that can reduce B cell numbers and antibody levels and has been prescribed for refractory neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). We report a case of delayed hepatitis B reactivation after repeated rituximab treatments with antibodies against aquaporin-4 in a seropositive NMOSD patient with chronic hepatitis B infection.
