Paradoxical Side Effect Related With Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Treatment
INTRODUCTION Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatments are effective in controlling disease activity in many immune-mediated diseases such as psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Although side effects such as infection and skin reactions are predictable in anti-TNF treatment; susceptibility to psoriasis is considered as a paradoxical side effect. CASE REPORT We report a case of f...
متن کاملThe paradoxical effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in endotoxin-induced uveitis.
PURPOSE To investigate the role of TNF-alpha in endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in mice. METHODS To neutralize TNF-alpha activity, mice were pretreated with either repeated injections of this cytokine or a single injection of antibody against it. The mice were then injected intraperitoneally with 500 micrograms endotoxin, to induce lethal septic shock, or into the footpad with 200 micrograms ...
متن کاملAnti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy and increased risk of de novo psoriasis: is it really a paradoxical side effect?

During these treatments, cutaneous adverse effects may occur like eczema, lupus, alopecia areata or psoriasis, which represents a paradoxical ad...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملSkin lesions and treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists.
The efficacy shown by biological therapy with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists has led in the recent years to its increased and extended use in different inflammatory arthopathies. Initially, safety studies of these drugs were mainly focused on the risk of infection and the development of malignancies. Recently, several cases of skin lesions induced by anti-TNF drugs have been reported w...
