Abstract

Biologic response modifiers have revolutionized the treatment of a number of chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors have a targeted strategy for the treatment of systemic inflammation and improve patient symptoms and function. However, TNF-alpha has demonstrated importance in the protection against several pathogens, leaving patients on this therapy more prone to infections.
