What immunosuppressant will you choose in a patient with necrotizing myopathy partially responding to IV steroids and IVIG with a history of non Hodgkins lymphoma?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
The decision should be taken in collaboration with the patient’s oncologist; however, Rituximab would be a reasonable choice to add given that IMNM generally responds well to it (particularly anti-SRP) and that it has a favorable safety profile concerning malignancy.
