Abstract
Most guidelines call for the discontinuation of treatment with tumor necrosis factor blockers in patients who develop tuberculosis. We report a case of life-threatening tuberculosis paradoxical reaction involving the lungs caused by withdrawal of the anti-tumor necrosis factor antibody adalimumab. Clinical improvement occurred only after resumption of adalimumab treatment.Entities:
