Article Synopsis
- Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a severe autoimmune condition, making up 80% of pemphigus cases, primarily treated with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressors.
- A meta-analysis of seven studies evaluated the effectiveness of Rituximab in treating PV, showing it significantly improves remission rates and lowers recurrence rates compared to standard treatments.
- However, the study notes that while Rituximab's adverse effects were not significantly different from the control group, further high-quality research is necessary to confirm these findings.
