A recent meta-analysis of controlled trials has shown evidence of increased risk for serious infections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists [1]
Cryptococcal infections have been described in 19 patients receiving TNFα antagonists other than adalimumab in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System from 1998 to 2002 [4]
