Infliximab-Associated Acneiform Eruption in a Patient With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Biologic agents are increasingly used for many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, as they are both steroid sparing and can potentially induce and maintain remission. Notably tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha antagonists are particularly useful in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets TNF alpha (cytokine involved in modulation of inflammatory responses) and neutralizes its effects.
