Multiple organ tuberculosis of lung, pleura, and peritoneum in ankylosing spondylitis during adalimumab therapy

Wan-Hee Yoo. Rheumatol Int. 2012 Mar.

Abstract

A case of multiple organ tuberculosis (TBc) involving lung, pleura, and peritoneum in a 39-year-old man with long-standing ankylosing spondylitis (AS) treated with adalimumab was presented. The relationship between antitumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) therapy and TBc was also reviewed. This case illustrates that TBc can develop in multiple organs during adalimumab therapy, and thus, the awareness of serious complications of multiple organs and atypical extrapulmonary pattern of TBc during anti-TNF-α therapy needs to be increased.
