Abstract
Multiple agents have been tried in patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP); however, none of these stands as a clear first choice. We administered rituximab, 375 mg/m2 weekly x 4, to four patients with refractory ITP. With a median follow-up of 7 months, one patient has achieved a complete response, proving the possible efficacy of such a therapeutic modality in this context.
