[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and rituximab

[Sullivan, Kathleen]

Hi everyone!

I have an adult CVID patient with VERY severe NLH.  I treated him with rituximab but the insurance company is now refusing to pay.  Does anyone have ANY references for the use of rituximab in this condition?  I can't find any in PubMed and the insurance company will not re-review unless I can give them some data.

Thanks!

Kate
