Abstract

ABSTRACT Induction treatment with rituximab—an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody—may increase the risk of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation in patients with antineutrophil-cytoplasmic-antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). Our case report shows VZV reactivation following rituximab treatment in AAV patients. The recombinant zoster vaccine should be recommended before the start of induction treatment with rituximab.
