Tumor Necrosis Factor-blocking Agents for Children with Enthesitis-related Arthritis — Data from the Dutch Arthritis and Biologicals in Children Register, 1999–2010

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-blocking agents seem effective and safe for patients with ERA that was previously unresponsive to 1 or more DMARD. However, a sustained disease-free state could not be achieved, and none discontinued TNF-blocking agents successfully.
