Published in: Respirology case reports (2022)
Pulmonary involvement of IgG4-associated disease is a rare condition with no codified treatment apart from steroid administration. We report here the case of a patient with pulmonary involvement of IgG4-RD successfully managed with Rituximab, in induction and maintenance therapy. This original case could support the use of Rituximab in rare situations of steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent pulmonary IgG4-RD.
