摘要
Infections during rituximab therapy are mostly bacterial, minor and usually affect the respiratory tract. Viral infections are less common and serious complications are rare. We report the first case of visceral varicella-zoster infection in a patient with follicular lymphoma after rituximab and chemotherapy treatment.
