We present a case of microhematuria, proteinuria and hypocomplementemia which developed in a 55-year-old female who was being treated with an infliximab biosimilar for rheumatoid arthritis. Renal biopsy showed lupus nephritis (ISN/RPS classification class IV + V). Treatment with the infliximab biosimilar was discontinued, and treatment with prednisolone, hydroxychloroquine and abatacept was started, resulting in clinical remission of lupus nephritis and RA.

Article Synopsis
  • Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors can lead to a lupus-like condition called anti-TNF-α-induced lupus (ATIL), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections may worsen lupus symptoms.
  • A case study reports a 38-year-old woman with a history of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis who developed severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after using adalimumab during a CMV infection, presenting with serious symptoms like lupus nephritis and cardiomyopathy.
  • Treatment involved stopping adalimumab and using aggressive steroid therapy alongside medications like prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine, highlighting the potential risks for patients with ser

Article Synopsis
  • Anti-TNF-α-induced lupus (ATIL) is a rare form of drug-induced lupus that can occur in patients undergoing anti-TNF-α therapy, particularly those with non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
  • The study presents three cases of patients who developed symptoms like positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), arthritis, and skin lesions after starting adalimumab, which resolved upon withdrawal of the medication.
  • The findings suggest common characteristics among these cases, such as the onset of symptoms linked to anti-TNF-α treatment and a review of existing literature supports their classification within ATIL.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be associated with intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Some patients are treated with infliximab, an antitumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) agent, to help them achieve and maintain clinical and biochemical remission. However, some patients with CD can present severe adverse effects such as drug-induced lupus and rarely present with pleural space and pericardium involvement.
