Overview
Diagnosis
Therapy/Surgery
- In RA patients unresponsive to several DMARDs but who are PPD+ although the chest X-ray is negative, how long should INH prophylaxis be maintained before initiating an anti-TNF agent? Is anakinra safe to use in patients with a positive PPD?
- Would a history of optic neuritis be considered a contraindication for TNF-alpha inhibitor therapy? In the few cases of MS-type symptoms in patients on these therapies, have the symptoms reversed when the medications were discontinued?
