The use of rituximab in myasthenia gravis and Lambert--Eaton myasthenic syndrome
JNNP 82:671-673, Maddison, P.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In a relatively large, unselected group of patients with myasthenia gravis and LEMS, rituximab treatment resulted in a significant clinical improvement in two-thirds of cases. As a selective, B cell targeted therapy, rituximab should be considered as a treatment option for patients with either myasthenia gravis or LEMS for whom standard immunosuppressive treatments have been unsuccessful.
