Re: [EvansSyndrome] pneumonia

Hi Zeina,
 
I'm an adult with Evans who underwent Rituxan treatment 4 years ago and I'm still in remission.  I didn't have any side effects or illness related to the Rituxan.  My blood still tests Coombs positive and I still take Imuran (100mg daily) and prednisone (2.5mg daily) because I still show minor signs of hemolysis.  But I haven't had any major problems since I underwent the Rituxan treatment 4 years ago.  I hope Sam sees success with the treatment. 
 
Debbie

Hi,
After my son Sam, 12 yrs old, finished his first Rituxan treatment in February, he was put on low dose of antibiotic to protect
him from pneumonia.. There was no mention of brain infection!
 
Hope things are going well for you..
 
Please could anyone who benefited from Rituxan for longer than one year give some feedback?  The doctors seem to be very
hopeful it will get Sam into a long remission.. which doesn't seem to be what some members believe to be the case!
 
 
Thank you
Zeina
