Pierre Quartier et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

Treatment with the chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab induces rapid and long-lasting depletion of circulating B cells. We report the occurrence of enteroviral meningoencephalitis following rituximab therapy in 1 child with immune thrombocytopenia and in 1 adult patient with relapsed B cell lymphoma.
