Abstract
We thank Dr Karim, MY for his interest in and kind comments on our study (1), in which we reported a low rate (i.e. 7 out of 700; 1%) of patients who required immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IGRT) for recurrent infections despite treatment with prophylactic antibiotics and/or hypogammaglobulinemia during rituximab (RTX) therapy in our cohort. This rate was the lowest compared to other published cohorts, which predominantly comprised patients with ANCA‐associated vasculitis (AAV), ranging from 4–21% (2‐4).
