Article Synopsis
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a tough autoimmune disease that leads to blood vessel problems and organ scarring, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) can help high-risk patients.
- A 43-year-old man with severe SSc underwent AHSCT but continued to experience heart issues, prompting the use of the drug rituximab (RTX) eight months later.
- After starting RTX, the patient's symptoms and organ functions significantly improved, showcasing that RTX may be a beneficial treatment for SSc patients who do not respond to AHSCT.
