Is rituximab for refractory ITP contraindicated in the setting of an active COVID infection, particularly in a patient with asymptomatic COVID?

Given that we would delay rituximab treatment for many active infections, I would recommend that we apply the same restrictions. I would hold the rituximab for ten days after covid test confirmation.

I would delay antibody in view of infection.
