Variable responses to rituximab treatment in neuromyelitis optica (Devic's disease)

M Capobianco et al. Neurol Sci. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

We have described two cases of Devic's disease patients treated with rituximab with different outcomes. The results indicate that there may be early unresponsiveness in very aggressive cases. Well designed clinical trials are needed to assess treatment effects in such a rare disease.
