Anti-TNF-alpha is now established as a major player in the treatment of Crohn's disease, however the use of anti-TNF-alpha therapy in patients concomitantly having HIV infection and Crohn's disease is a relatively unexplored subject. There is generally some apprehension and anxiety to use infliximab in patients with HIV. One case has been reported in literature of usage of anti-TNF-alpha in HIV positive patient with Crohn's disease who was on anti-retroviral therapy. We report for the first time the successful usage of infliximab in treating Crohn's disease in an HIV positive patient who is not on any anti-retroviral treatment. |
