| Popis: |
The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists infliximab, adalimumab, and etanercept have been approved for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. Manifestations of demyelinating disease have been reported for patients receiving TNF-α antagonists. We describe a rare manifestation of a chronic inflammatory process affecting both the central and peripheral nervous system in a patient who received infliximab for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Infliximab therapy was discontinued and symptoms improved under high-dose intravenous glucocorticoid pulse therapy. |
