Abstract

Here are the cases of three female patients who received long-term rituximab treatment for seropositive, erosive and deforming rheumatoid arthritis were reported. After rituximab treatment, they presented with recurrent sinusitis and pneumonia, followed by the subsequent development of bronchiectasis. A temporal relationship between rituximab treatment and the onset of respiratory complications was exposed as a possible pathogenic mechanism.
