A Study Investigating the Association of Dermatological and Infusion Reactions to Infliximab and Infliximab Trough Levels

BACKGROUND: Although infliximab is an effective therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it is associated with dermatological events and infusion reactions. It is not known whether a relationship between these adverse events (AEs) and infliximab trough levels (ITLs) exists.
