A complication of pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) is immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Although corticosteroids and immunoglobulins are frequently used as preliminary treatments, some patients do not respond to them. Rituximab has been reported to be safe and effective in the treatment of pSLE complicated with refractory ITP. Research is currently underway to determine the optimal rituximab dose for these individuals. We report a case of a child with SLE-associated ITP (SLE-ITP) who was successfully treated with rituximab. Rituximab is likely the most viable therapeutic option for refractory SLE-ITP. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the relevant literature was performed and a concise overview of the pathogenesis and available treatment modalities for pediatric patients diagnosed with SLE and concurrent ITP was provided.
期刊介绍:
IMMUNOLOGIC RESEARCH represents a unique medium for the presentation, interpretation, and clarification of complex scientific data. Information is presented in the form of interpretive synthesis reviews, original research articles, symposia, editorials, and theoretical essays. The scope of coverage extends to cellular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular and structural immunology, immunoregulation and autoimmunity, immunopathology, tumor immunology, host defense and microbial immunity, including viral immunology, immunohematology, mucosal immunity, complement, transplantation immunology, clinical immunology, neuroimmunology, immunoendocrinology, immunotoxicology, translational immunology, and history of immunology.
