The effects of COVID-19 infection on the mortality of patients receiving rituximab therapy.

As a result of the study, it was found that RTX treatment in particular increased the risk of death from COVID-19 infection. However, vaccination against COVID-19 has a very important place in this patient group. It is important that vaccination is administered at the full dose and adjusted according to the RTX treatment time, and that the dose and timing of RTX treatment are regulated.
