Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis is a rare liver condition that causes symptoms like recurrent fevers, muscle pain, and enlarged liver/spleen without any infectious cause.
- Traditional treatment involves steroids, which often relieve symptoms quickly but can lead to recurrences when tapered off; alternative medications like azathioprine and methotrexate can be effective.
- This case study presents a patient who developed antibodies against common treatments infliximab and adalimumab, marking the first successful use of certolizumab pegol for managing this condition, demonstrating its effectiveness against idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis and related antibodies.
