I was wondering if you had heard about usi...Hello,<br /> I was wondering if you had heard about using rituximab for treatment of autoimmune encephalitis, specifically paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis? My mother (51 years old) is currently suffering from this disease and for the past 2 weeks has been in a coma. They are currently doing plasma phoresis, but so far no changes are noted. They have identified the autoantibodies as CRMP-5. As for some background info, she had a thymoma removed last January and was starting to recover muscle function slowly until about in September when she became very fatigued and acquired shingles and then memory loss began. She has been in the hospital for about 3.5 weeks now. <br />Thanks for considering this. Any feedback appreciatedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572312825637537519noreply@blogger.com
