Efficacy of rituximab in treating systemic sclerosis in HIV-positive patients: A novel case report.

Abstract

HIV infection presents a variety of symptoms, including connective tissue disorders. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) with HIV is rarely reported, with limited literature. We present a 45-year-old female with HIV on HAART who developed diffuse cutaneous SSc. She was successfully treated with rituximab, showing significant improvement in cutaneous manifestations.
