I have Microscopic Polyangiitis, a fatal autoimmune disease. It is the second most serious of the vasculitis diseases. I am on Rituxan infusions that kill B and T cells and that has me in remission. This is very interesting in that it focuses on the T cells. I will be talking to my rheumatologist ASAP. Thank you for sharing, Judi Lynn.
