|
Demyelinating diseases were described in patients receiving anti-TNF agents. Optic neuritis (ON) induced by TNF blockers was already described in 22 cases in the literature. In this article, the authors report a 53-year-old woman with refractory rheumatoid arthritis that developed neuritis optica after the fourth dose of infliximab and had a good outcome after anti-TNF withdrawal, associated with glucocorticoid treatment. In addition, the previous cases of ON induced by anti-TNF agents were reviewed. |
