Abstract

To the Editor: Tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNFα) inhibitors are potent immunomodulators and provide options for treating a number of conditions including psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Reported side effects from these agents include drug-induced autoimmune disorders.1 The induction of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-dsDNA antibodies, or both has been observed in approximately 4% of patients treated with TNFα inhibitors.1 Also, drug-induced lupus erythematosus (LE) has been associated with both infliximab and etanercept.
