Neuropathie périphérique sous Infliximab: étude d’une observation

Abstract: Les traitements Anti TNF alpha sont de prescription de plus en plus large. Des événements secondaires multiples ont été rapportés ses dernières années, en particulier les neuropathies périphériques. Nous rapportons un cas de neuropathie axonale survenant trois mois après le début d’un traitement par Infliximab. Il s’agit d’une patiente âgée de 60 ans, suivie pour réctocolite hémorragique résistant au traitement et ayant nécessité un traitement par Infliximab. Trois mois après, la patiente présente un tableau d… Show more

“…In the Stubgen study's and Tsouni study's [9] [10], specific management of neuropathy by intravenous corticosteroids and immunoglobulins was necessary despite a spontaneous improvement in the symptomatology when anti TNF alpha was stopped and when there was no response to stopping anti TNF in Tsouni study's. In the case reported by Zinebi et al [5], the evolution is partially favorable with regression almost complete of symptoms after three months of reduction in the dosage and a complete electrical recovery at the 10th month. In our case, we observed the disappearance of the neurological symptoms after 5 months from stopping the anti TNF.…”

“…The occurrence of peripheral neurological adverse effects under anti-TNF alpha is a problem which prescribers may be increasingly confronted with because of the growing use of this therapeutic family [5]. The estimation impact of peripheral neuropathy during Infliximab therapy is difficult and the time to onset is often less than two years after the beginning of anti TNF alpha [1].…”
