An unusually large number of cases of tuberculosis, often with miliary or dissemination, has been reported in patients taking infliximab for rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease. Recommendatons have been issued in France regarding the definition of high-risk patients, the screening methods to be used in these patients, and possible prophylactic treatments. The present update is also intended to help physicians manage tuberculosis occurring before or during infliximab therapy.
