Management of hypogammaglobulinemia in pediatric patients with refractory lupus nephritis: a focus on belimumab [PDF]
BackgroundAlthough the use of belimumab in children with lupus nephritis (LN) has increased over the past few years, there are limited data on the safety of belimumab in such patients with hypogammaglobulinemia. There are scarce reports of an association

Hypogammaglobulinemia commonly presents with chronic diarrhea. Unfortunately, these patients require intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) transfusions of 400–800 mg/kg every 3–4 weeks as a standard treatment for hypogammaglobulinemia.

Hypogammaglobulinemia following COVID-19 infection in a patient on maintenance rituximab
Hypogammaglobulinemia is a known side-effect of rituximab use. It is typically asymptomatic and transient, although certain factors, such as maintenance dosing and concomitant glucocorticoid use can lead to symptomatic or prolonged hypogammaglobulinemia.
