Effect of Ruxolitinb in refractory pruritus in a patient with high-risk
polycythemia vera A Case Report
Abstract
Polycythemia vera (PV) associated pruritus is recognized as the most
excruciating aspect of the disease. However, knowledge of
pathophysiology, frequency, and precise character of PV-associated
pruritus is limited. Ruxolitinib presented an encouraging and promising
outcome in managing PV-related pruritus, especially in patients with
symptoms refractory to other treatment modalities.
