Abstract

Rituximab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD20-positive B cells and originally developed for the treatment of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. We report a case of severe mucous membrane pemphigoid responsive to rituximab infusions. The clinical presentation, etiology, and management options for mucous membrane pemphigoid are also discussed.
