Hypersensitivity reactions to TNF-α inhibitors
Abstract
Patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are repeatedly exposed to TNF-α inhibitors. Currently five TNF-α inhibitors such as infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, golimumab and certolizumab are available. Although these agents are generally well tolerated and safe, systemic such as urticaria, angioedema and anaphylaxis or local hypersensitivity reactions as local injection site reaction have been reported with the use of these drugs. Intravenous or subcutaneous rapid drug desensitization is a valid therapeutic option to preclude their use in sensitized patients.
