B-cell depletion in pediatrics

Article Outline

 

B-cell depletion is being used in a wide range of disorders. El-Hallak et al at Harvard Medical School have reviewed their experience with treatment of refractory autoimmune disorders in this issue of The Journal. Although only 10 patients are reported, this is the largest pediatric experience reported for children with autoimmune diseases.

The article is discussed in some detail by Claas Hinze and Alexei Grom from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Division of Rheumatology.
