Article Synopsis
  • Quadriceps contracture is a condition that causes the quadriceps muscle to shorten, limiting knee flexion and affecting daily activities, often requiring surgical treatment; recognizing whether it is an isolated or combined contracture is vital for effective management.
  • A 14-year-old girl with rectus femoris contracture from repeated intramuscular injections had successful rectus femoris lengthening surgery, improving her knee flexion and overall mobility, with no complications during a three-year follow-up.

Background: Recent years have seen the emergence of disease-modifying therapies in multiple sclerosis (MS), such as anti-cluster of differentiation 20 (anti-CD20) monoclonal antibodies, aiming to modulate the immune response and effectively manage MS. However, the relationship between anti-CD20 treatments and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, particularly the development of hypogammaglobulinemia and subsequent infection risks, remains a subject of scientific interest and variability. We aimed to investigate the intricate connection between anti-CD20 MS treatments, changes in IgG levels, and the associated risk of hypogammaglobulinemia and subsequent infections.
