Abstract

Introduction: TNFalpha inhibitors etanercept and infliximab, are a new and very exciting drugs. Etanercept is administered subcutaneously, and infliximab by intravenous perfusions.

Exegesis: They are indicated in severely rheumatoid arthritis resistant to treatment with methotrexate, and in Crohn's disease refractory to immunosuppressive agents. Their safety profile is good, but the risk of infections is increased.

Conclusion: Their indication in other inflammatory diseases need further studies.
