Abstract EN
We present the case of a 19-year-old female with severe hypogammaglobulinemia after having had treatment with rituximab for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura requiring intravenous immunoglobulins.
She was admitted with the diagnosis of left-sided pneumonia with parapneumonic effusion.
The patient was treated with piperacillin/tazobactam after having a poor response to co-amoxiclav.
The patient had been tested for immunoglobulin levels, and the levels were very low.
She has a history of ITP for which she received steroids.
She also received rituximab for the same on four separate occasions, and the last one was about 1 year ago.
