Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 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.
