We report the case of a patient with persistent and worsening injection site

reactions associated with subcutaneous etanercept therapy. Injection site

reactions are well documented to occur early in therapy; however they

typically decrease in frequency over time. This patient developed early

injection site reactions that have persisted and worsened into his tenth

month of treatment with etanercept.
