Its use in patients with B-cell lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis revealed numerous indications in autoimmune diseases, many of which involve the skin, thus requiring dermatologists to become familiar with both the characteristics of anti-CD20 antibodies and the role of B cells in multiple skin diseases. Thanks to these developments, we will be able to use rituximab more frequently and appropriately in our patients and draw up consensus guidelines based on large case series. In other words, establishing the indications for rituximab will make it possible to shorten disease course and reduce morbidity due to more specific drugs. ER -
