Andy,
A thalassemia patient in India - who was experiencing antibodies had her first infusion with rituxan. During the treatment her heartbeat increased to 150. She is a little reluctant to have a second treatment. She is transfusing twice a week and the iron levels are increasing. Is it safe to continue rituximab treatment?
Thank you,
Sharmin
