Introduction

Includes:

Indications

Contraindications

Caution: screening for tuberculosis, hepatitis B & hepatitis C prior to initiation of therapy[4]

* treatment of active or latent tuberculosis prior to administration of TNF-alpha inhibitor

* if patient develops signs & symptoms of tuberculosis while on a TNF-alpha inhibitor, obtain induced sputum acid-fast bacilli & culture (bronchoscopy & bronchoalveolar lavage is too invasive)[22]

Pregnancy category: B[4]
