Fatal Salmonella enteritidis septicaemia in a rheumatoid arthritis patient treated with a TNF-alpha antagonist
Scand J Infect Dis.
2007.
Abstract
We report a patient with a rare presentation of extra-intestinal salmonellosis after infliximab therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. We discuss the increasing incidence of primary infections and reactivation of intracellular microorganisms after treatment with TNF-alpha blockage, with emphasis on salmonellosis.
