Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis that was resistant to methotrexate and sulfasalazine developed in a 25-year-old woman who was evaluated for possible treatment with a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor. These agents are effective in some patients who have not had a response to other therapies. They increase the risk of infection, and their long-term efficacy and safety are not established.
