Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFI) are novel therapies used to treat ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Demyelinating disease is a rare but serious complication of TNFI. We report a patient with a case of AS who developed demyelinating disease secondary to TNFI and was treated successfully with rituximab. |
