Abstract
Infliximab is a chimerical monoclonal antibody currently used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Lupus-like syndrome is a rarely reported adverse event, and generally observed in rheumatoid arthritis cases. We hereby define and describe a case of a lupus-like syndrome, which developed following the 4th infliximab infusion in a 62-year-old patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). As far as we acknowledge, the present case is the third AS case with infliximab-induced lupus.Entities:
