The infectious profiles of anti‐tumor necrosis factor agents in a Thai population: a retrospective study a the university‐based hospital

Abstract

Even thought there were two new events of TB and HBV reactivation after etanercept treatment, incidence of overall infection seemed to be increased after infliximab treatment. The infectious screening and monitoring with high index of suspicion as well as the pre-emptive treatment are still important whenever either etanercept or infliximab is started.
