Hi Im just debating whether to have my 5th course of Rituximab. After my last one September 2012 I was covered in a pin prick red rash. Went to A&E and doc said definitely a reaction to Rituximab. My ra nurse doesnt seem too concerned. .but I am , coupled with the risk albeit a small one of PML. Any one else experienced this? Thanks
