Case Report:Interstitial Pneumonitis Associated with Infliximab Therapy

http://www.jrheum.com/abstracts/abstracts06/1189.html

EDITH VILLENEUVE, ANNE ST-PIERRE, and BOULOS HARAOUI

ABSTRACT.

Interstitial pneumonitis is a well documented, rare complication of

methotrexate (MTX). We describe a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

taking MTX for more than 3 years who then developed severe interstitial

pneumonitis after a third infliximab infusion. Other similar cases are

reviewed. Infliximab may potentiate pulmonary toxicity of MTX.
