Cutaneous vasculitis and granulomatous hepatitis as paradoxical adverse events of Infliximab

Biological agents revolutionised the treatment of inflammatory arthropathies. Paradoxical adverse events (PAEs) are rare immunological side effects caused by such agents. The authors report concurrent presentation of two rare PAEs of tumor-necrosis-factor alpha inhibitors (iTNFa) – cutaneous vasculi...
