- Abstract
- "Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. Clinical, laboratory, and immunologic features suggest that NMO is a humorally mediated disease and B cell targeted therapy is ideal and effective treatment in NMO. We describe a 35-year-old woman with NMO, who suffered from very frequent attacks despite the maintenance of long-term prednisolone therapy, dramatically responded to rituximab.
