ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Humanized monoclonal antibodies to tumor necrosis factor- alpha are valuable for the treatment of rheumatologic conditions, but they have been associated with the development of serious infections. We report the first 2 cases of leprosy developing after treatment with infliximab. After discontinuation of infliximab, both patients developed type 1 ([quot ]reversal[quot ]) leprosy reactions.
