Table 5.
Clinical outcomes after rituximab and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
| Regimen | CR, n (%) | PR, n (%) | Relapse, n (%) | Infection, n (%) | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 
CIST→RTX→IVIg*
 N=2  | 
1 (50%) | 1 (50%) | None | None | 
| 
CIST→RTX+IVIg
 N=2  | 
1 (50%) | 1 (50%) | None | 1 (50%) | 
| 
CIST→IVIg→RTX
 N=8  | 
4 (57.1%) * | 3 (42.9%) * | 4 (50%) | 2 (25%) | 
*One patient did not report the final outcome as CR or PR, but only clinical improvement.
Hence, the number of patients in Table 3 is 11.
CIST, conventional immunosuppressive therapy; RTX, rituximab; IVIg, intravenous immunoglobulin; CR, complete response; PR, partial response.
