This FDA warning is for patients with lupus being treated with Rituxan. There is risk of a fatal infection of the brain called PML. Are you sending out information for people who have taken Rituxan? A friend of mine was taking this and it is frightening to know that she could get PML. Please make this information more widely known. mylove4u 9.8 years ago
